It got national news? Interesting.  (No TV.)

Apparently it was broken into on Saturday and, er, re-arranged a bit.
Before they took it down some friendly individuals mirrored the whole

As far as www-security implications, www.usdoj.gov is NOW running
NCSA/1.5.1 but may not have been before the breakin, nor do I have any
particular reason to believe they broke in through the WWW server,
though based on NCSA's history it's not exactly a long shot.
