I've also been told that chatter implies that certain groups have issued a general challenge to determine is anyone can deface 6000 web sites in 6 hours, on July 4th. That's as specific as the information is. Most of us remember, I'm sure, the Chinese defacements and the resulting American retaliatory defacements, a couple of years ago. It was easy to recover from those, because most times the intruder just renamed and replaced the index file with their own. May not be so easy if it happens again.
