A hacker known as BlackJester claimed that he hacked into a number of servers belong to Qwest Communications International, a large United States telecommunications carrier. The screenshot he provided shows that he was logged in with administrator privileges to a host on qintra.com, a domain controlled by two domain name servers at qwest.net.
"What I have breached is a server that controls the server ‘under it’. It’s like with switches and routers. If u gain control on them u can control the rest. You cannot enter the network yet, but u can open a route to the network,” Softpedia report quoted as hacker saying.
Hacker said he turned of three of the servers on March 18. By shutting down the servers he also shut down "company networks and panels."
“I wanted to try something called forced offline. I thought that it will be online and my session will be on and it will act like an offline server, but it appears not. They are off and only they are able to turn them back on manually. Until now they didn’t notice that” he explained.
“I got around 3, but there is around 10 or more. If u controlled one u can also make changes in the others because every one has under it many other servers.”
“I want to send them a message so that they know that they are in danger. Also, I want to warn them that anyone can reach US government servers through them,” the hacker added.
