---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 11:19:09 -0500 (EST) From: security curmudgeon To: defaced-commentary () attrition org Subject: [defaced-commentary] Cryptome.org Defaced John Young's cryptome.org site is currently defaced. Defacement reads: hacked by bighawk of hackweiser (bighawk () kryptology org) www.cryptome.org's http logs cryptome.org's mail -- The http logs link to what appear to be legitimate cryptome.org web logs and you should be able to see your own IP if you load it. The mail that is linked to appears to be a virus/worm mail and not much more. According to kryptology.org: I have nothing to do with the defacement of cryptome.org. My nick and email were probably used in an attempt to bring me in discredit. -- Given Cryptome's history of providing an incredible resource of information and standing up to incredible pressure to remove content, it is sad to see soemone deface this site in such a way. Curently, none of the previous pages load making it appear as if the site has been mostly deleted. - The information and commentary is Copyright 2002, by the individual author.
