Yes, it is Cyberspace, here no one can assure 100% Security but it doesn't mean that you can ignore the security holes. Godzilla the hacker who breached the Pakistani Government websites few months ago has claimed to have identified multiple security flaws in EC-Council website(eccouncil.org).
EC Council is best known for its professional certifications for the IT security field, especially 'Certified Ethical Hacker(CEH)'.
The hacker claimed to have gained access to admin desk and accessed the course materials for CEHV8, CHFIV4, ECSS,ECSA_LPT4.
Talking to EHN, the hacker said "This could take a very deadly turn if played by the cyber terrorist.They are the same org who train DOD, CIA, NSA ,NASA etc."
"If a cyber terrorist infects this material with Trojans and malware the same content will be accessed by the defense people. And this is the easy way to enter into the network of defense. They should concentrate on security and in future should avoid such situation."
" Consider it as a security alarm for USA and Defence network, you will never know in cyber space who is knocking your door."
The hacker didn't mention the type of vulnerability that gave the access to these materials. But it appears his motive is to create cyber security awareness.
