OpenSSL.org hacked and defaced by Turkguvenligi
A few minutes back, the OpenSSL website(www.openssl.org) got hacked and defaced by a hacker named " Turkguvenligi "
The home page of the OpenSSL replaced with a simple defacement text saying "TurkGuvenligiTurkSec Was Here @turkguvenligi + we love openssl _ ".
OpenSSL immediately took action and removed the defacement from the page. The website has been restored at the time of writing.
You can still check the defacement at Zone-H: "http://zone-h.org/mirror/id/21425720". It has also been archived in Web-archive: "http://web.archive.org/web/20131229024230/https://www.openssl.org/"
It is still unknown how hacker gained access. We are trying to reach the hacker. Once we get a word from the hacker, the article will be updated here.
UPDATE: OpenSSL confirmed the site defacement and said "Source repositories verified and unaffected. More details on entry method in a future statement."
