IKEA Kuwait website hacked
It seems someone hacked the local IKEA website. There is nothing there except for a message saying “Red Eye ownz you! – by Z4i0n”. [Link]

unsatisfied customer ?
more like a noob hacker trying his luck nd testing on websites till … voila !! Ikea kuwait
i would call him a script kidde not a hacker
the word hacker’s meaning is totally different in hacker’s jargon that what most of people think
*if he was one
Red Eye ownz you! – by Z4i0n
???? confused he calls himself red eye, then z4i0n ?
some dumb pimpled kid, got bored of surfing for p0rn.
What kind of message was that?
Maybe someone who didn’t like their Shawarma.
lol their shawarma rocks..
bored kid :P
Red Eye is that stupid guy on their instruction manual, you know? those instructions you look at for 15 minutes, turn upside down, inside out, sideways,
Mmm some more SQL injections.

this isnt a hack of the actual website
its the dns entry re-routed to another ip address which will result in when you enter the name
it takes you to another server
which
KISR should take all the blame for it
KISR is responsible for registering all .kw domains
seems they need a security overhaul
and actually
this message
red eye ownz you
is a security vulnerability due to certain cases
which hackers look for
to hit certain dns records
http://www.kisr.edu.kw/
seems they have shut down
their main webserver
which is the front end for the public
maybe they heard what i said
before i even say it :)
sorry for multiple comments
if still awaiting moderation
add them into one
sorry again
It has nothing to do with DNS records or diverting the domain to a different IP. If that was the case the other IKEA pages wouldn’t have been accessible, the guy just put up his own index.html file
That happened to me once here. Basically if you don’t update your software to the latest or install properly coded software then you are susceptible to being exploited.
