The Recording Industry Association of America may not want people to share digital files, but the organization certainly seems to be in favor of open access to its website. On Monday, the RIAA site was hacked for the sixth time in six months.

Since the RIAA site is such a tempting target, many wonder why the organization hasn't made more of an effort to secure its site. On Monday, access to the site's supposedly private innards was gained in much the same way as it was last August.

Some security experts said in no uncertain terms that the latest defacements indicate the RIAA is clueless about technology. They charge that this ignorance has resulted in the RIAA attempting to combat digital file sharing in ineffective, counter-productive ways.
