Al-Qaeda Electronic Army and Tunisian Army recently attacked several U.S. Government websites as part of their operation called "#opBlackSummer" - an operation against America.
Now the hackers took their operation to next level by launching cyber
attack against Petroleum and Gas companies. Yesterday, EHN got
notification that the Team breached the two U.S. Petroleum websites.
They identified the SQL Injection vulnerability in the websites belong
to "Chevron Corporation(chevron.com) -an American multinational energy
corporation " and "Oceaneering International, Inc(oceaneering.com)- a
subsea engineering and applied technology company based in Houston,
Texas, U.S.A.". We have verified the existence of the vulnerability.
The team managed to exploit this vulnerability and extracted sensitive
data from the target databases. The hacker said to have compromised
important data including email addresses, passwords, and 270 IP address
belong to Companies' computers.
The hackers claim they will send these IP address details to their Chinese hackers team to do some malicious work.
TCA said this operation will continue till September. The hackers said
they are planning to "give a great surprise for the USA" on 11th
Septemebr (9/11), the date on which al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and
carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States.
