The website of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been hacked again by an attacker known as "Karim Chadjaa " Who lives in oran ,Algeria , who then leaked personal account information to Pastebin.

The attack took place on 06 february , and FBI said to have exploited a zero-day vulnerability in the Plone Content Management System (CMS) of the FBI.gov website, according to his server .

It should be noted that this is not the first time that the FBI website has been hacked. Early last year FBI agents travelled to Scotland to observe the arrest of a 15-year-old schoolboy in Glasgow over a hack of an FBI system.

CMS Flaw?
Based on the data placed on Pastebin, the data Karim found during his hack included accounts information, including names, SHA1 Encrypted Passwords, SHA1 salts, and emails, as well as 155 logins.

According to the Security Affairs website, Karim Chadjaa apparently was “tasked” by a vendor to test the CMS system against both the FBI and Amnesty. The flaw with the Plone CMS system apparently resides in some python modules of the CMS.

Other websites are potentially exposed to the same zero-day attack, including Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center and EU Agency for Network Information and Security.

Karim Chadjaa was part of the the Anonymous collective which hacked into the website of the FBI back in 2011.

Expert Take
Some security experts have lamented that the hacker was able to penetrate the systems of one of the world’s foremost law enforcement agencies.

“It’s very regrettable to see such a negligent approach to web application security from such an agency as the FBI,” said Ilia Kolochenko, CEO of web security firm High-Tech Bridge.

“They put at risk not only their main website and the interconnected infrastructure, but provide cybercriminals from all over the world with a universal bridgehead to attack global companies and governments by placing malware on the FBI’s website,” he said.

“Many exploitation vectors of common web application vulnerabilities, including unpatched 0days, can be efficiently mitigated by proper web server hardening and a WAF, but it looks like the FBI ignores these common best practices,” said Kolochenko.

“If claims, supported by screenshots, of publicly accessible backups, missing chroot, absence of access and privilege segregation, are true – the FBI should entirely revise their approach to web application security.”

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
