July 6th - Are Websites safe?
« on: July 04, 2003, 08:16:25 PM »
During this weekend, WEBSITES (apparently) have been threatened with attack!
The NEWS, broken at News Sites such as SFGate.com,
and debated at SlashDot, is that a Web site (defacers-challenge.com, - shut down early Wednesday evening) was inviting Hackers to pre-register for the challenge.

About as safe they are every other day of the year.  Except possibly school holidays.

Is this anything to do with the slight outage A.org had about an hour ago?

Oh no! Amiga.org has been hacked!  All the forums are full of blatant flamebaits started by trolls using the handles of MorphOS users... hold on a second... ah, business as usual! :-)
