The KDMS group has been hacking several high-profile websites in recent days, using DNS hijacking attacks. They managed to deface the websites of AVG, LEASEWEB, Avira, Rapid7 and WhatsApp, not by attacking the server that hosted them, but the company that hosted their domain. Today, a well-known hacker on the scene, Jester or as he is usually written as “ th3j35t3r ”, claims to have identified some of the members of the group that supports Palestine.
The hacker reported on Twitter that the KDMS Team account, @KDMSTeam,was initially following 16 other Twitter accounts. He believes some of these accounts belong to members of the group.
Jester also believes that the name KDMS represents the initials of the group's user names: Kolmtk, Dod, M4st3r, and S4w. These Twitter accounts haven't posted anything in several years, they just exist.
“Due to the relatively new presence of the KDMS Team on Twitter, it is highly suspicious that they know of, and follow, accounts that are inactive and haven't posted anything in 6 months and others have been posting for over 3 years,” Jester said.
After analyzing email addresses and searching for parallel Facebook accounts, the hacker was able to discover the individuals who make up the group: Firas Abu Azab, Omar Ashraf, Wassem Ashraf , and possibly Mohanad Abudalfa.
All of this information was published by the hacker on Pastebin
It should be noted that Jester is a fairly well-known name in the hacking scene. He openly supports the American government and has at times stated that he dislikes Anonymous and those who oppose America in general.
