heh, that would have been funny if they got it to print that on all the newspapers that were sent out nation wide.
You know, I used to think some of the things hackers did was funny. Then I got a job that required me to clean up after the handy work of hackers. For some reason it just stopped being funny.
Stories about crackers messing around with big name web site is not that much of a headliner now a days.... I think its because it has happened so many times to pages like CNN, ABC, NBC and so on.... Web site only report this stuff now for publicity... :p
You're right, that would make it un-funny in a hurry. Hackers/Crackers got themselves a high profile when all the DOS attacks happened. Now anything that Crackers are responsible for gets looked at as "just another annoying attack", but if they publicize it right then their site gets a little extra traffic.Quote:

Was that person who hacked into usa today's web site by any chance from Antionline? ;)
I know what fizzie is talking about, it seems to be a joke for some but others may not like it. Specially those who have either been tricked into believing those fake stories or those who have to clean up thier mess.
