A hacker site signs off

HackersBlog, a Romanian website that gained notoriety for recently exposing SQL injection vulnerabilities in websites of security vendors such as Symantec, Kaspersky Lab, F-Secure and BitDefender, is shutting down. A post on the website said the operation had "gotten to that point where most of the team members had enough ... we do have a private life." The team's most notable attack targeted Kaspersky and enabled the hackers to view a list of database tables. However, no customer information was exposed in any of the incidents. — CAM
