The last two big incidents were the hacking and altering of the
Department of Justice and the CIA homepage. The hacker got in and
changed the webpages. All the gifs I think were links to other
servers so he didn't upload gifs. But he managed to alter the HTML
files.
There are folks who downloaded and recreated the pages on their
servers, but I don't have those URLs handy. If you do a search for
HACKER, some of those pages should have links to them.
Does anyone has more technical info on how those hackers got into the system
and altered the pages?
Regards,
Frank
