satelliet tv TV GIANT CANAL+ HACKED, HITS GITHUB WITH DMCA COMPLAINT

[whatyouneed]

Viacom-owned TV giant CANAL+ has been hacked, TorrentFreak can reveal. In a now deleted DMCA notice sent to the Github code repository, a legal manager at CANAL+ reveals that a Github user hacked one of the company's servers and "stole all the data and codes" to a new customer relationship management software project.

While the majority of DMCA copyright complaints are sent to hinder the online distribution of music, movies and TV shows, the legislation can also be used to deal with code and software issues.

Just last week, Indian blogger Thejesh GN discoveredthat an ISP was injecting javascript into customers’ browsing sessions. This led to lawyers representing the script writers to send a DMCA notice to Github, where Thejesh GN had published the code.

Now Github finds itself in the spotlight again, this time over a serious matter involving one of its users and Viacom-owned TV giant Canal+.

The trail of the story began mid-week when Github published a DMCA notice received from the “Legal Manager” of the Industrial Protection Department of CANAL+ Group. The person, whose name was redacted, explained that he/she is in charge of anti-piracy at the company and was seeking the urgent assistance of the code repository.

“All the data and codes published and contained in this [now deleted] directory are confidential and could be used to steal personal data in our CRM [Customer Relationship Management system],” the complaint reads.

The Legal Manager added that the ‘codes’ are connected to a confidential CANAL+ project titled “Kiss deploy” and asked for their urgent removal.

“We request you to remove immediately all the data and files contained in this repository,” the notice adds.

Ik ken de context niet, maar kennelijk is er een Canal+ directory gehacked dat toegang geeft tot gegevens en codes die weer toegang geven tot bepaalde klantengegevens (betrekking hebbend op een bepaald project). 

 

Het desbetreffende directory zou inmiddels verwijderd zijn. Maar het kwaad is mogelijk al geschied.  

 

Correct me if I'm wrong @whatyouneed.

En licht even verder toe.

Canal+ France moet leren z'n spullen goed te beveiligen en hadden ze SSL/TLS (lees encryptie) gebruikt had er nooit een injectie door een 3e partij kunnen plaats vinden. (notebene een ISP ?)  Kortom dit is eigen schuld dikke bult.
