Pakistani hackers from the Madleets group managed to hack and deface the official Daily Mail Forum (boards.dailymail.co.uk).
Struck by 1337! Dailymail STAMPED by PAKISTANI LEETS! Security is just an illusion..We are Team MADLEETS! Greetings to the team. Pakistan Zindabad.
The website has now been restored. HackRead reports that hackers successfully exploited a vulnerability in the vBulletin and thus gained access to the Forum.
Team Madleets has defaced several high-profile websites in recent times, not by hacking servers but by using DNS hijacking. But in the case of the Daily Mail forum, it seems they actually managed to hack the website.
