The Federal Government is warning of a hacker contest that is set to run for 6 hours on Sunday July 6. The goal of the contest is to deface 6000 websites within the 6 hour period. Most of our customers would not be affected by this type of attack as they do not host their own websites. However, I would suggest that everyone verify that their web developer is taking precautions and that the website is backed up.
The object of website defacing is to make changes to web pages. The payoff for the hacker is usually nothing more than bragging rights.
