A group of Pro-Palestine hackers 'KDMS Team' today has been able to hijack the Metasploit website simply by sending a fax and hijacked their DNS records.
Rapid7 is a leading Security Company and Creator of world's best penetration testing software called 'Metasploit'. The company confirmed via Twitter that Metasploit.com was hacked via a spoofed DNS change request sent via fax to its registrar, Register.com.
The group came to prominence earlier this week when it managed to hijack the websites of popular messaging service WhatsApp and anti-virus company AVG among others.
On the website, the hacker posted "Hello Metasploit. After Whatsapp , Avira, Alexa , AVG and other sites. We were thinking about quitting hacking and disappear again! But we said: there is some sites must be hacked. You are one of our targets. Therefore we are here. And there is another thing do you know Palestine?"
