One expert said computer security companies are likely hacker targets simply because they claim they can provide security. A Web defacement group active in the U.S.-China hacker conflict earlier this year has turned its sights on computer security firms, hitting a number of security-related Web sites in a campaign to put them to the test.

A member of the group, which calls itself PoizonB0x, reportedly told news sources the security site defacements were intended to force security corporations to update and bolster defenses. The hacker slammed security-related sites that have vulnerable Microsoft Windows systems.
