TopTV website hacked

Hacker

The TopTV website has been hacked, but the company is mum regarding sensitive information which may have been obtained through this security breach.

MyBroadband received information about the security breach early on Tuesday, 1 January 2013, and according to one TopTV visitor, the security breach affected TopTV’s home page and contact page.

Some of the affected pages had been restored or replaced by temporary pages by Wednesday morning (2 January), but at least one page still displayed the message “Hackeado por HighTech Brazil HackTeam No\One – CrazyDuck – Otrasher – L34NDR0”.

TopTV’s Heather Kennedy said that they are aware of the breach of security on its website.

“The IT department was working on the problem all day yesterday, New Year’s Day. The site will be restored shortly,” said Kennedy.
