What is going to be next?
Official message from websupport.sk (Websupport ltd.):
“At June 27th 2007 Police of Slovak Republic disconnected and took away 10 servers of webhosting company websupport.sk (Websupport ltd.) where websites and emails of more than 3500 of their clients were stored. A massive service outage and data loss took place. The equipment has been taken away without a notice and without any reasons explained either to the equipment owner or to the services users.
Company and press requested the explanation, but no information has been given away from the side of Police. The servers were taken because of cracking penetration to Narodny Bezpecnostny Urad Slovenskej Republiky (National Security Bureau of Slovak Republic) which happened more than a year ago.
Police promised to release the equipment immediatelly, but it didn’t happen till now.
Servers should be given back at the night or tomorrow (Jun 27th or 28th 2007).
We do NOT agree with the police action and after the lawyer advices we will take appropriate (perhaps, in cooperation with some or all of our clients) steps. Police just can’t take 10 servers of a commercial company, nor commercial webhosting with the reason, that they didn’t know what they are looking for, so that’s why they took all of them.
We are sorry for any inconvinience caused by this action, our apologies to all of our clients.”
This is happening in Slovak Republic, part of the Europian Union, and we can’t take it anymore. We are not gonna just look at all the illegal actions of the government that happens in this country. Please copy this all over the internet, so the world is going to know what is happening.
www.blackhole.sk – IT security site, which described how was the penetration to NBU done, is stored at the websupport.sk so that’s probably the reason why the police took the servers, but without any notice or explanation, which we think is illegal. NBU – national security agency was “hacked” late last year, where 20gigs of emails were stolen and some more secret stuff (official report from NBU states that no secret data has been compromised). This was done just by guessing the simple password – nbusr123. This password has been not changed few days after publishing the attack details on blackhole.sk though, so you can see how much this country cares about us and our security. No network administrator has been punished at all, they just took onyx (the machine of a czech and slovakian security webpage - hysteria.sk, which has been never prooven to be, nor indicated as a machine used for the NBU attack itself) and was analyzing the data half a year (about 80 GB of data can be copied for later analysis in less than 1 day, for deeper analysis disk drives can be taken, but there is no logical reason to keep the whole machine for half of year at all). So we don’t believe that 10 servers will be given back sooner than that time.
Thank you for your time.
Yours faithfully Slovak people
