The Australian Broadcasting Authority's Web site has been defaced once again, however this time it seems to be an attack on Microsoft's NT Windows server rather than the ABA itself.
"It doesn't appear to be an attack on the ABA, just evidence that it could happen," a spokesperson for the Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) said.
The watchdog's Web site was replaced by a "Prime Suspectz" logo and a message which recommended the company use a Linux-based Apache server.
According to links published on www.attrition.org - which lists Web server defacements news - the group known as "Prime Suspectz" has been defacing South American Web sites for the last few months, all of which are hosted on Windows NT servers.
"Most of the sites taken out [by Prime Suspectz] are South American Web sites. They are similar in that they are always Windows NT," Wiretapped analyst Grant Bayley said.
"As far as targeting ABA, my guess is that it's totally random," he said.
The ABA faced a number of attacks leading up to the Internet legislation on January 1st this year, however the company spokesperson believes that the ABA wasn't cracked for political reasons.
"There were no comments about ABA's role, it was just a straight attack," the spokesperson said.
The ABA regulates broadcasting in Australia.
