Just as I thought I was going crawl into bed early tonight I recieved
word that AntiOnline's security has been compromised, The main page
was defaced, and as I finish writing this, the site is still down.

Honestly this is one of the better defacements I have seen for
sometime since it was a fairly intelligent hack, and to take from the
defaced page,  Some words of wisdom.

"The lesson inherent in this defacement is that even sites with only a
webserver accessible can be penetrated. Determined intruders will
scour your website looking for information leaks, dimwitted
misconfigurations, and insecurities in server-side programs."

Shield the eyes of younger and more sensitve viewers looking at this
one since there is the usual profanity and better than average humor
for once.
