Pada hari Kamis, 8.800 alamat internet diserang oleh worm sandmind / IIS.
Worm ini menginfeksi server yang menjalankan sistem Sun Solaris dan
menggunakan server yang terinfeksi untuk menyebarkan dirinya dan sekaligus
menyerang server yang menggunakan sistem Microsoft IIS dengan mengganti
halaman depan homepage server dengan pesan-pesan yang anti Amerika. Diduga
kuat, kejadian ini erat kaitannya dengan perang hacker pro Amerika dan pro
Cina.
Sebenarnya worm menggunakan celah keamanan (security flaws) yang sudah lama
diketahui dan sudah tersedia perbaikannya, namun karena diduga para
webmaster tidak disiplin melakukan update sehingga kedua sistem di atas
dapat diserang.


In English
Thousands of servers connected to the Internet have been compromised by a
recently discovered worm, the Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination
Center and security Web site Attrition.org said Thursday.
"We've received reports from over 100 sites. These indicate that several
thousand Web sites running (Microsoft's) [Internet Information Server]
software were defaced and that over 200 Solaris machines were compromised,"
CERT Internet Security Analyst Chad Dougherty said.
Attrition.org, which monitors Web site defacements, said in a statement that
it has received a list with 8,836 IP addresses of systems that were hit by
the "sadmind/IIS worm." Although Attrition.org could only confirm 405
defacements, specialists connected to the computer security Web site believe
that all systems behind the addresses were compromised at one point or
another.
CERT, which issued a warning on the worm on Tuesday, said it is continuing
to receive reports of both IIS and Solaris machines being struck by the
worm. The organization, part of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University,
advises systems administrators to check if the server software has been
patched.
The worm penetrates a server running Sun's Solaris operating system, taking
advantage of a 2-year-old security flaw. The Solaris system is set up to
scan the Internet for vulnerable IIS and Solaris servers. Anti-American Web
pages are posted to vulnerable IIS systems, using a security hole that was
uncovered seven months ago. Solaris servers are used by the worm to
propagate itself.
Software patches from Sun and Microsoft have long been available to fix the
problems. However, the slew of defacements shows that not every Web site
administrator is diligent in plugging security holes.
