Russian security company Kaspersky Lab's Web site for Malaysia was defaced on Saturday along with one of its online shopping sites, according to Zone-H, an organization that documents such attacks.
This dispels the belief that Kaspersky protection is 100% secure, a belief held by many people here in Uganda.

Official Statement from Kaspersky:
Several publications have recently reported that Kaspersky Lab’s official Malaysian website, as well as its Malaysian online store, were attacked by a Turkish hacker known as "m0sted". According to the hacker’s own statement, the attack was conducted using an SQL-injection. The reports hinted at “big risks for end-users” that could be caused by the attack.
It should be stressed that both websites that were attacked are managed using third-party hosting. The sites have never been publicly accessible as they are still under construction.
Since the websites are still being developed, they haven’t yet been fully secured. Naturally appropriate security features will be implemented before the sites go live.
This situation can be compared to a thief breaking into an empty house that is still under construction and has not been yet properly secured. Breaking in is therefore an easy task, but in such cases there is nothing to steal or damage – the websites are not yet live and are not linked to other Kaspersky Lab corporate websites. It seems clear that the attacker’s only motive was to attract attention.
We therefore do not believe that this attack could harm users in any way. Additionally, it will not be possible to use this attack method once the websites have been officially launched.

Sidekick: The Good News & the Bad News Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

On a typical day, weather.com, the Web site for The Weather Channel in Atlanta, serves up between 15 million and 20 million page views. But in September 2004, when back-to-back hurricanes ransacked Florida, the peak traffic on one day more than tripled: over 70 million page views by more than 7 million unique visitors.
