Mistaken identity: Indiana Dept. of Education hacked a second time

The Indiana Department of Education was defaced for a second time last week. Attackers claimed to represent the Nigeria Cyber Army used a vulnerability in the website’s CMS platform to initiate the first attack. The second attack left behind a longer, taunting message, which suggests mistaken identity as a possible reason for the attack. In the first incident, the attackers targeted a flaw in Drupal, which if exploited would enable SQL Injection, and in some cases total control over the targeted host.”]
