Cracking Continues  

More Cracks
Telenor and University of Limerick Websites Cracked
1325 Hrs 16 January 2000

The websites for Telenor Ireland (www.telenor.ie) and the University of Limerick (www.ul.ie) were cracked late last night. The University of Limerick defaced page had the title TCD > UL indicating in a rather joking manner that it was a Trinity College Dublin crack. A local mirror of the defaced page is available.

The Telenor site according to the HTML was cracked by BT. A local mirror of the defaced page is available. British Telecom (BT) had recently moved to take over Esat Telecom and Telenor's bid had been rejected by Esat's board and topped by British Telecom. However it is not believed that British Telecom had any involvement in the crack.

Both sites displayed the defaced pages for over twelve hours after the cracks. The University of Limerick webserver is running Apache 1.3.3 and the Telenor Ireland website is running  Microsoft IIS 4.0. Most of the Irish sites that have been cracked in the last few months have been running the Microsoft product whereas only two of the sites cracked, Eircom and University of Limerick have been running Apache.
