Jazeera Airways going to get hacked?
I just got the following email from someone threatening to bring down the Jazeera Airways IATA system which I am guessing is the ticketing system. Here is the email:
JAZEERA AIRLINES IATA SYSTEM WILL BE UNDER ATTACK BY NEXT MONDAY GET READY FOR THE TAKING OVER !!!
HACKERS FOR REAL WE AIN’T BULLSHITING YOU PEOPLE
WAIT ON MONDAY AND SEE WHAT WILL HAPPENED TO THESE FOOL INDIAN TECHS THEY HAVE IN THERE !
CIAO BUDDIES !

They/he/she might be just a bunch of good for nothing teenagers screwing around, or script kiddies maybe, in both ways, they are just a bunch of losers.
Hackers are silent, and often strike without warning.

Indeed, what we have here is a bunch of n00b h4×0rs.

1. Jazeera Tech-team are a bunch of idiots .. thats why they had Navitaire make their reservation system.
2. If the hackers were going to hack Jazeera .. they should have just done it. From a Network-Admin perspective .. If I was Jazeera, I would just set up a couple logs/firewalls and trace the first ping.
3. Kuwaiti Hackers are not 9th in the world… Thats some crap the newspapers made up to defend the Ministry sites from their hacks.

13. mutmut | January 10th, 2007 at 7:35 pm
if this messes up reservations, alot of people are gonna be pissed. jazeera should take some precautions just incase its true..
14. jajajaja | January 10th, 2007 at 7:51 pm

15. CyberRowdy | January 10th, 2007 at 7:59 pm

‘Hack Jazeera 101′:
1. Blog a post about Jazeera 1KD fare if booked between Sunday 11pm and Monday 2am
2. Book 20 tickets on one PNR and cancel them before flight
3. Call Jazeera on phone and tell them you are Borat stuck in Kuwait and need connection to Kazhakstan ‘Yagshemash!’
4. Tell Jazeera about DayLight savings in Kuwait from Monday! [they believe anything]
5. Wait till Monday, Jazeera Tech would crash their own site by auto-refreshing their own browsers

Couple days back “Kuwaitism” posted about the successful hacking of http://www.mashaer.net (website of a KSE listed company) and it is still being redirected to “ISRAELI MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS”!!! I wish the Kuwaiti Hackers could do something for this rather than attacking a Kuwaiti company.
18. DA | January 10th, 2007 at 8:11 pm
Oh yeah…I forgot
6. Wait till Monday, Jazeera will turn off their servers on their own waiting for the storm to pass over ;)
19. CyberRowdy | January 10th, 2007 at 8:14 pm
http://www.mfa.gov.il/mfa (mashaer redirects to here) is not blocked! I am surprised qualitynet hates porn(and even london hotels) more than ISRAEL….LOL!
20. Marzouq | January 10th, 2007 at 9:34 pm
I dont think that will happen! It would be pretty funny, we shall see!
21. Nael | January 10th, 2007 at 11:26 pm
DA, Borat won’t even think about coming to Kuwait, come on! all the things he likes are banned here!!
I still say that they are just a bunch of lazy ass teenagers who can’t even spell right.
22. Armani_Exchange | January 11th, 2007 at 12:47 am
Can’t wait till Monday :P
23. KtheKuwaiti | January 11th, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Just the IT folks at Jazeera ..
The rest of them took the system and customized it .. Jazeera still has the navitare source code on every page.
