After drinking a Corona I began working on this post and it hit home yet again. Half way through writing this, another server on Hewlett Packard's network was defaced. I don't know what I find more ironic, that four HP servers were defaced this month, or that in each case they were running Windows NT or Linux instead of HP-UX (their own unix operating system). Toward the end of this list are two sites that also strike a bit of irony. Toshiba Australia http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2001/02/21/www.toshiba.com.au/ ICQ http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2001/02/20/groups.icq.com/ Compaq Computer Corp, Altavista http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2001/02/19/partners.altavista.software.digital.com/ http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2001/02/14/merchant.shopping.altavista.com/ Compaq Computer Corp http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2001/02/14/www.weft2.emea.compaq.com/ Hewlett-Packard http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2001/02/18/openview.hp.com/ http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2001/02/14/e-learning.hp.com/ http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2001/02/22/www.netserver.hp.com/ http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2001/02/05/ma.cv.external.hp.com/ (Ironically, three of these machines running Windows NT instead of HP-UX, and one running Linux...)
