Hackers sell access to military and government websites

Dozens of military, government and education websites have been hacked and are up for sale, according to researchers from Imperva's Hacker Intelligence Initiative (HII).

According to a team led by Noa Bar Yosef, Imperva's senior security strategist, high-profile sites such as the official Italian government website (http://itcgcesaro.gov.it), the Department of Defense Pharmacoeconomic centre (http://pec.ha.osd.mil/) and even the US Army, Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) (http://cecom.army.mil ) are available.

In a security blog posting, Rob Rachwald of Imperva says that the hacker has put up a range of sites for anything between $55 and $499.

Imperva's research team also claims to have discovered that the hacker was also offering personal information from the hacked websites at $20 per 1000 records.
