Fake hacking incidents reported

Sri Lanka CERT |CC has noticed that some group of people who are pretending to be Sri Lankan Cyber Hackers are trying to get some publicity by publishing information collected from various DNS servers belonging to both national and international organizations. They have claimed that they have hacked those DNS servers by launching DNS poisoning attacks against those servers. But they haven't provide any acceptable evidence to prove that. Instead they have published some DNS data taken by server scanning which can be done using freely and widely available tools in the Internet.

However scanning any systems without the permission of the owners is a punishable offense under the Computer Crimes Act of Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka CERT|CC would like to confirm that there is no hacking incident has happened and those systems are working in healthy condition.
