A few days after it was revealed that Lenovo was breaking https security on some of the computers they sold, the company’s website was defaced by hacker group Lizard Squad.
In a statement, Lenovo said: “Unfortunately, Lenovo has been the victim of a cyber attack. One effect of this attack was to redirect traffic from the Lenovo website. We are also actively investigating other aspects. We are responding and have already restored certain functionality to our public facing website.
“We are actively reviewing our network security and will take appropriate steps to bolster our site and to protect the integrity of our users’ information and experience.
“We are also working proactively with 3rd parties to address this attack and we will provide additional information as it becomes available.”
Lizard Squad hijacked Lenovo’s DNS and intercepted some emails that they are publishing on their latest twitter account. One of these emails discusses the Superfish adware/malware :
