The Romanian police have announced that several members of the Anonymous Romania group have been arrested. DIICOT, the Romanian Organized Crime Unit, raided the homes of 12 members, out of the 14 that they believe were part of the group, located in 10 different cities. The police claim that the 24-year-old Gabriel Balaneasa was the leader of the group. He used several nicknames online, such as "lulzcart," "anonsboat," "anonsweb" and "carman." Balaneasa, a native of Piatra Neamt, formed the group along with Fabian Gabor and Picos Mihai Emil, the police says  (in Romanian). Other members later joined the group that launched several attacks on local and international websites. Some of the most recent attacks targeted the official website of the Bucharest City Hall and a government portal .

The official IBM Research website (researcher.ibm.com), a domain dedicated to projects and publications, has been taken offline after a group called Kosova Hacker Security (KHS) has managed to breach and deface it. The Hacker News has caught a glimpse of the defaced website and reports that the members of KHS have leveraged SQL Injection and remote code execution vulnerabilities to penetrate the site’s defenses. “KHS ownZ this b0x! ~ nobody will stop us!” the hackers wrote on the affected webpage. Other than that, they didn’t state their reasons for targeting IBM, although it may be possible that this was a way to show off their skills. At press time, the site was still down, most likely with its administrators trying to figure out what allowed the hackers to gain access. Source: @EduardKovacs | softpedia

At the time of writ­ing these web­sites are still defaced, with a black page writ­ten “Turkgu­ven­Ligi” and “ 4 Sept. We TurkGu­ven­ligi declare this day as World Hack­ers Day - Have fun ;) h 4 ck y 0 u”. What do ups​.com, voda​fone​.com, thereg​is​ter​.co​.uk, acer​.com, bet​fair​.com, nation​al​geo​graphic​.com and tele​graph​.co​.uk have in com­mon? They all use Net­Names as their reg­is­trar. It appears that the turk­ish attack­ers man­aged to hack into the DNS panel of Net­Names using an SQL injec­tion and mod­ify the con­fig­u­ra­tion of arbi­trary sites, to use their own DNS (ns 1 ​.yumur​tak​abugu​.com and ns 2 ​.yumur​tak​abugu​.com) and redi­rect those web­sites to a defaced page. In the past, Turkgu​ven​Ligi​.info defaced secu​nia​.com, HSBC Korea and the reg­istry Directi with this method.
