You have been living under a rock if you haven’t heard of the Turkish hack a couple of days ago. Basically – a Turkish hacker forum that bolsters a strong anti-Israeli attitude has been practicing hacking and mostly defacing Israeli sites for the past few months (years). Now, this is nothing new, and as I [...]

Botnet communication using newsgroups is old news as web2.0 twitter and blog channels have been used for a long time.
