Sometime during the early morning of Sunday 1 May 2005 (USA TIME) a massive attack against some 5000 php based sites across Texas and Californian servers occured. The source of this attack is believed to be from a group in Brazil using the domain www.outlawgroup.cjb.net
The attack as far as we are aware has affected at the least high bandwidth servers in Texas and California (Siteground being one we know of as we use them). Has anyone else been affected by this group ? The attack resulted in the index.php file and other files being replaced and other files deleted. In addition logs appear o have been flushed as well in an attempt to cloak their origins. Reports have gone to Cert regarding this attack which is believed to have affected over 5000 sites.
