"The official Malaysian Kaspersky Antivirus's website has been hacked yesterday [on 19th Jul] by a Turkish cracker 
going by the handle of "m0sted".

Along with it, the same cracker hacked also the official Kaspersky S.E.S. online shop and its several other subdomains. 

The attacker reported "patriotism" as the reason behind the attack and "SQL Injection" as the technical way the 
intrusion was performed.

Both websites  has been home page defaced as well as several other secondary pages.
The incident, though appearing a simple website defacement, might carry along big risks for end-users because from both 
the websites,
evaluation copies of the Kaspersky Antivirus are distributed to the public."
