This time for political reasons.

http://www.zone-h.org/defaced/2003/02/23/www.defensivethinking.com(1)/ The hacker DkD[|| after gaining access using a misconfiguration in the website (the same misconfiguration that allowed the previous intrusions) posted a wide pro-Palestine/Chechenia against Sharon/Bush/Putin proclama.

We at Zone-H fighted a little in order to get the mirror of the defacement as somebody at Defensivethinking was continuosly restoring the original main page and blocking the IP of our mirroring robot (like to say, if Zone-H doesn't mirror it, it will get unnoticed... Shhhhh!)

We eventually succeded to get the mirror .

The interesting thing, is that the boys at Defensive Thinking rather that fixing the configuration mistake (at the moment the full server content can be still browsable as an extension of your local directory) they were fighting against our mirrors or against the hacker who was redefacing the mainpage everytime it got fixed.

In an online chat session with DkD[||, he told to Zone-H that there were no personal reasons to attack Mitnick's server. "It's just a very good way to spread my message" declared DkD[||.

Our implacable mirrors are watching you...
