Milw0rm

Also known asMilw0rm

Milw0rm is a hacking group referenced in content about 1990s-era hacking groups and in reporting on politically motivated website defacements in 1998. The content links the group to a British hacker known as JF and states that a protest webpage used in a mass defacement of more than 300 websites bore the Milw0rm logo. In that incident, the attackers replaced homepages with a mushroom cloud image and an anti-nuclear declaration after exploiting weaknesses in EasySpace hosting infrastructure. The reporting characterized the activity as politically motivated anti-nuclear hacking rather than security research. The content also states that Milw0rm had previously claimed responsibility for stealing email and deleting web servers at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Bombay, India, in the context of India-Pakistan nuclear tensions. The group is also listed in a Wikipedia navigational template of hacking groups associated with the 1990s. No nation-state attribution is provided in the content.
