Web Hostings Attack

The CEO of Netregistry said that he suspects insider involvement in a recent web hostings attack known as the Distribute.IT Hack. The attack last month on the recently acquired Distribute.IT facility may have been an inside job, although responsibility was claimed by a hacker group called Evil. They took down some 4,800 domains and hosting accounts, knocking thousands of customers offline.

The hackers also wiped out much of the company's backup data, which has affected all aspects of the company's operations. Three weeks later, they were still struggling to restore the affected accounts , and have since transferred many accounts to a subsidiary in order to restore service to customers. Industry experts believe that the work had to be that of an individual familiar with the company's business and possibly with remote access.
