Prime Suspectz is a group known for their regular campaign against foreign Web sites of large multinational corporations including Nike Brazil, Panasonic Italy, BMW France, Chevrolet Argentina, Samsung South Africa, Nintendo Spain and many more. See our previous commentary on high profile foreign defacements for a full list - http://www.attrition.org/security/commentary/hp-foreign-01.html

Their targets aren't only limited to the foreign sites of multinational corporations. Yesterday Prime Suspectz defaced the Ford Motor Corporation's Media Web site. http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2001/01/22/media.ford.com/

A full list of Prime Suspectz previous defacements are available at http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/psuspectz.html .

Prime Suspectz isn't the only group defacing high profile foreign sites. In the last 3 days, sites for Canon Greece, Canon Turkey, and Xerox India have also been defaced. We expect to see this trend continue until these companies work to secure their global Web sites as well or better than their flagship portals. http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2001/01/22/www.canon.gr/ http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2001/01/21/www.canon.com.tr/ http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2001/01/21/www.xerox.co.in/
