The hacker community received a blow today when defacement mirror Safemode.org closed its doors.

Safemode was the last major site to record the web pages of the rich and famous after they had been defaced by hackers and before they were taken down and repaired.

Last May the well known Attrition.org shut down its defacement mirror, and Alldas.de has been up and down in recent months following a bombardment of denial of service attacks effectively leaving Safemode as the only major defacement mirror.

But a message greeting viewers at Safemode.org today reads: "No more defacements will be mirrored on safemode.org. As you know this mirror was mostly run by me, Zillion."
