It’s the latest hacking of a public institution in the United States. The United States Eastern District court of Tennessee has had their website hacked by P0keu. User names and passwords have been posted to PasteBin.
P0keu has done numerous hackings in the last little while. Previously, P0okeu hacked DJ website VisitBPM and Canadian website Tamil Canadian.
About an hour ago as of this writing, P0keu tweeted the hacking, linking directly to PasteBin. P0keu didn’t post this under the banner of Antisec. In fact, P0keu, in keeping with the theme of previous hackings, seemed to decline to give a reason or an explanation as to why he decided to hack the website in the first place.
The PasteBin posting consists of just over a half a dozen usernames and passwords to the MySQL database – so presumably administrators. It’s unclear what the repercussions will be at this point in time.
