The EC-Council is a controversial organization that provides training and certifications for security professionals. It claims to have trained more than 80,000 people and certified over 30,000, including ones from the FBI, Microsoft, IBM the US Army and the United Nations. The organization says that the hacker simply redirected the sites visitors via a DNS hijack to a defacement page hosted with a company located in Finland. The hacker that targeted the website, an individual calling himself Eugene Belford (the name of a character from the movie Hackers), claimed to have breached the EC- council’s systems. He also led everyone to believe that he had hacked the site’s administrators.”]
