Paraguayan ccTLD Hacked, Google.com.py Redirected, Internal Database Leaked

MrJones writes "Last February 20th, hackers supposedly from Iran accessed and modified (English) the www.NIC.py database, redirecting www.google.com.py to another site. The hackers posted the whole NIC.py database containing full names, national ID numbers, street addresses, phone numbers, and more of registrants. This is not the first time (English) that NIC.py, managed by the 2 most respectful Computer Science Universities of Paraguay, was hacked. Since the entire database was released, local white hat hackers were able to calculate how much money NIC.py was making annually (English) by charging $44 US per .py domain. The local CS community are urging the NIC.py administrators to do all whats possible to protect the .py domain names since the hack was done by exploiting a simple remote code execution vulnerability. If they can modify google.com.py, just imagine what they can do to banks and financial institutions. Maybe Google can helps us."
