Some hacker(s) decided to take on one of the world's largest hosting company, inmotion, and replace everyone's index.php file with a cute little 1990's style "Server Hacked!" page, which plays a rap song (given your dumb enough to stay on the page long enough for it to automatically download...which I was). If inmotion gets hacked and 25,000 websites (including this humble one I make a living on) with it, that should say plenty about the internet, no? Its not easy to hack someone like inmotion. I love inmotion, by the way. It just shows nobody is immune to hijacking in the great pirate-infested ocean we call the internet. That being the case, what if someone like facebook gets hacked? Facebook deals purely in information - your information - so no doubt that would cripple society's identity as a whole. I guess the internet is only as trustworthy as the hackers that run it.
Here is the splash-page I was greeted with. Hackers seem fond of 1990's style web design (done by teen-age geeks with too much time on their hands).
