The websites of Renault, Toyota and Chevrolet in Guatemala were hacked and defaced by a member of a Pakistani group called Cyber Criminals.
The domains that were compromised are: Toyota.com.gt, Renault.com.gt and Chevrolet.com.gt, as reported by the website Tech.com.pk.
“Hacked by Algeriano. TOYOTA & RENAULT & CHEVROLET of Guatemala are hacked. Cyber Criminals were here,” the attacker wrote on the websites he defaced.
The message suggests that the hacker simply wanted to show off his “skills” and promote his team’s name. These websites do not appear to store sensitive data with customer information. However, such an attack can affect a business’s image.
At this time, all websites have been restored.
All websites appear to have been developed by the same company. The most likely scenario is that the websites suffered from the same vulnerability that the hacker discovered and exploited.
This should send a message to the company that manages the sites, as it appears that the development of the websites is not secure.
