Ongoing Linux/Solaris Compromise Epidemic
An anonymous reader writes to point out that Stanford's Information Technology Systems and Services "has written a summary of a series of compromises that have been happening at universities, research institutions, and high performance computing centers, for the last month or more. The attackers are using known vulnerabilities in Linux and Solaris, along with compromised user accounts, to gain access and control of systems, from standalone servers to HPC clusters ... (the attacks are still ongoing)."
As a professional security researcher and employee of a CLEC I would like to say this is total FUD. IRC taught me that much.
The exploits/vunls being used in all cases is public. Stanford.edu should be so embarrassed right now.
This article was written by a monkey. He/She used every buzz word and hacking group they could think of. Throw in a few lkm rootkits and wow, it almost sounds intelligent.
