New Zealand Web Hosting Provider Suggests Many Internet Systems Insecure

February 17, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Many New Zealand Internet systems are insecure, announced web hosting provider PrimeHost this week. Many Internet providers are running outdated systems that, the company claims, are vulnerable to hacking

PrimeHost’s announcement comes on the heels of nearly 600 New Zealand websites being hijacked by a Turkish hacker. "You would be shocked at how many Internet companies are still using vastly outdated operating system distributions to host commercial customer websites," suggested Mr. Dale McIsaac, PrimeHost’s Operations Director.

"Many successful hacking attempts are due to Internet providers running outdated software on their servers, and customer installed-applications such as bulletin boards, forum software and mailing lists are commonly exploited by internet hackers," added Mr. McIsaac.

With vulnerabilities and exploits being found in server software applications on a daily basis, Mr. McIsaac suggested it was imperative providers “maintained a high level of server security”. According to the company, PrimeHost customers were not impacted by the current spate of hackings.
