Subject: [defaced-commentary] Various recent high profile defacements


I had meant to do an update to my previous high profile summary of
sorts.  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.

It is always somewhat ironic when security companies or security related
sites get defaced. Attrition is just waiting until we end up mirroring our
own defacement.
