Indonesian hacker brings down Tucson police website
The path to enlightenment got a little shorter for the citizens of Tucson, Arizona and they have a hacker half-way around the world to thank.
An Indonesian man who goes by the handle Hmei7 bypassed the city's firewall and executed a SQL injection on the website of the Tucson Police Department. That gave him access to the media section of the department's site, where he changed the titles of all the media releases to "Hmei7 has touched your soul."
A quick web search suggests the Phoenix city isn't the first group to be blessed by the web defacer. Indeed, he's also kissed the souls of people in Okaloosa County, Florida, if this press release is to be believed.L33tdawg: If he used an SQL injection vuln, then there would be no firewall to bypass actually - port 80 would have had to be opened anyway... tsk tsk to The Register ;)
