Agreed, Netcraft is reporting that is is running Linux with UNIX
Apache...so I am not even sure it is running Apple software, but it
proves the beautiful points that having a secure OS is only part of the
battle, a vulnerable application on a good OS is just as bad...which
doesn't seems to work will with the "I am a mac and therefore I am
secure" idea floating around the apple circles.

It is funny that it is defaced because this is one of the "links" on the
SANS top 20 for Mac Security.
