Metasploit author hacked by metasploit DNS tools

In an interesting turn of events, the controversial release of the BailWicked Metasploit modules has led to BreakingPoint research director and Metasploit author HD Moore getting hacked. We he targeted? Coincidence? Or is it karma?

From NetworkWorld:

HD Moore has been owned. That's hacker talk, meaning that Moore, the creator of the popular Metasploit hacking toolkit, has become the victim of a computer attack.

It happened on Tuesday morning, when Moore's company, BreakingPoint, had some of its Internet traffic redirected to a fake Google page that was being run by a scammer. According to Moore, the hacker was able to do this by launching what's known as a cache poisoning attack on a DNS server on AT&T's network that was serving the Austin, Texas, area. One of BreakingPoint's servers was forwarding DNS traffic to the AT&T server, so when it was compromised, so was HD Moore's company.
