A hacker who calls himself "Eugene Belford" (A
character from the movie "Hackers" )has hacked the EC-Council website
- an organization that offers Certified Ethical Hacker(CEH)
"Owned by certified unethical software security
professional" The defacement message reads.
He has also put in the deface page documents proving that
"Edward Snowden" attended the CEH classes in India.
A spokesman from CSPF (Cyber Security and Privacy
Foundation) says, it appears to be hackers used DNS hijacking attack to deface
the website and possible gain access to their email.
Another CEH certified professional says he was not satisfied
with EC Coucil Training. He says though
the course material is good and certification is recognised worldwide, the
trainers from francisees of EC Coucil do not know hacking and they are not
competent to take CEH classes.
Update: Sometime after this news was posted the hacker
edited the deface page with this extra text.
"Defaced again? Yep, good job reusing your passwords

P.S It seems like lots of you are missing the point here,
I'm sitting on thousands of passports belonging to LE (and .mil) officials
"
It might be that the attacker has gotten access to the
emails of EC Council and hence all the email correspondence of the Law
Enforcements and Military officials might be compromised also.
