Oh My News is Hacked

» by in: Journalism

Popular South Korean news website, Oh My News has apparently been hacked:

The well-known Korean online news service OhmyNews, which is written by its readers, has reportedly been infected with a “Trojan Horse,” a malicious code that allows hackers to steal personal information. Internet security firm Geot (ww.geot.com) and Manian.com (manian.dreamwiz.com), a club of Internet users, said Sunday OhmyNews was hacked on Saturday afternoon.

The Trojan lurking on the website will install itself on the computers of readers logging on to the site, and will leak their ID and passwords when they log onto online game sites.

Apparently a Chinese hacker did this to get online game passwords. I wonder if this is going to start a cyber war?
