First weapons fired at Malaysia by Bangladeshi hackers

Anyone can start a war, as long as they have weapons. Apparently, Bangladeshi hackers have fired their first salvo, poisoning the DNS of some select sites.

It's not a difficult thing, but it's effective. This proves that anyone can start a war with major effect, not only governments. You don't need to start a major cyberwar if a small hack can give you maximum effect.

Even the dell.com.my DNS entry has been poisoned, and this is a sales site--imagine how much revenue has been lost. And it has been hours since it's been poisoned, and yet it still remains crippled.

The Dell site itself has not been hacked, it's the addressing system which the Internet uses. It may be possible to prevent this in the future, but that takes substantial changes which need to be implemented.

According to Lowyat, MyNIC, the Malaysian registry of .my domains, has been compromised, and DNS servers based off of that official source are therefore all affected. Earlier on, Google DNS servers were also poisoned, but in my last test, Google DNS seems to have been refreshed so it's no longer poisoned. Click here to find out how to switch to Google Public DNS if you have been affected. For now, we're witnessing an attack done the simple way, but with maximum effect


Sites affected so far are Dell Malaysia (.com.my), all Microsoft sites on the .my suffix notable MSN Malaysia (.com.my), Skype Malaysia (.com.my), Bing Malaysia (.com.my) as well as antivirus site Kaspersky (.com.my). Google Malaysia (.com.my), Youtube Malaysia (.com.my) and a few other notable .MY domain sites are also inaccessible at the moment.

At time of writing, none of the online banking sites have been poisoned, but it is a very real possibility that they could be until this issue is resolved. If you have to conduct any online transactions, please ensure that the security certificate for the online banking site you are visiting is valid before keying in your personal details (if you choose to stick to Google DNS servers that is).
