Deface Road Runner, Save the Whales?

Security at three Web sites operated by AOL Time Warner's [NYSE:AOL] Road
Runner service was compromised Thursday. An attacker replaced the sites'
usual home pages with a message about saving whales. 

Defaced were the home pages of the cable-based Internet service's sites
for users in Austin, Texas, and in Kansas City, as well as a site serving
subscribers in Maine. All but the Kansas City defacement were still
viewable this morning.

Officials from Road Runner, which serves more than 2 million subscribers
in markets across the United States, are investigating the incident and
had no immediate comment.
