Everybody seems to treat website defacers like they are the scum of the earth.I dont agree with what they do, but are they really that bad? I got defaced 3 times, but it isnt really a problem. You jhust undeface it, which isnt that much effort unless they defaced a string of your websites or every page. But a defaced homepage isnt that much of a problem. shouldnt we be more worried about people deleteing all our files than changing our homepage? Defacers also create MORE traffic. for instance if you are put on ZONE-H people will visit your site. They will get you HIGHER rankings in google, because the google randking system is partly based on how many sites link to your site, and if your site is archived a bunch.... thats a higher link status. Im not saying defacers are good people, but shouldnt we be less worried about them?
its just a philosophical question i think pople should ask themselves.
