As it is generally seen known exploits are used for hacking , so firstly website owners and hosting firms should do their part and close the vulnerabilities.

Turkey is a country with young population and broadband is becoming widespread over the last three-four years so what we get younger ones with time + broadband.

Less than two weeks ago, another Turkish hacker hacked a record 38,000 websites in one shot using automated tools to attack sloppy ASP coding. According to Zone-H.org statistics which showed that platforms don’t matter but implementation does, file inclusion (typically sloppy ASP or PHP coding) is the most likely way to get hacked.

I used to work for a hosting company and it happened to a few of the sites there. Mainly on sites which hosted a forum; generally html/mysql page injection through phpbb/invision board - not necessarily a vulnerability in the servers operating system. But if your running a windows server...well...no comment.
