The famous energy drink, Red Bull, was under the attack recently when its website got hacked by a group of hackers. While no changes and replacements were made on the website, there is an addition of a few pages which weren’t there before. One of the added pages says hacked by Prosox.
Who Is Prosox?
The name Prosox was quite in the limelight a few days ago as they were responsible for hacking the famous Youtube Channel, Vevo, and taking down some of the most popular videos like Despacito. However, the videos were restored to their original state in just a day.
The hackers have linked a message “hacked by Prosox” to Prosox’s Twitter handle, implying they’re behind the hack.
How Was The Hack Made?
Around 30 Redbull subdomains got affected from this hack. Upon investigation, it was concluded that a CMS script was used and the hack was deployed using Drupal.
Interestingly, the latest Drupal remote execution code, which was released just a few days ago, was used to make this hack. This shows how advanced these hackers are at exploiting new technology.
The Hack Again
The website got hacked one more time by another hacker, under the name Shade. This hacker edited a page and added a message suggesting he was behind the hack.
While Redbull was able to get control again, it is not sure if any data was leaked.
The Bottomline
The Redbull hacked pages are fixed now, however, it’s still a question if the Drupal exploit was patched or not.
