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 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.
Following the Pentagon and State.gov security breach, the Tunisian Cyber Army and Al-Qaeda Electronic Army has attacked two more United States Government websites.
Today, they have targeted the U.S. customs and Border Protection (cbp.gov) and Office of Personnel Management (OPM.gov).
The team managed to extract the information from the target database by exploiting the critical SQL Injection vulnerability in those websites.
