The abuse and ignorance we deal with from defacers and defacement victims is staggering, and some of that abuse spills over into actual attacks. |
The two main types of attacks were website defacement and distributed denial of service. |
The defacement competition challenges crackers to deface as many as 6,000 sites in the shortest time possible to win the contest. |
Reported death threats, defacements and incidents have yet to produce a single major prosecution. |
Wikipedia does have a small community of editors who prevent outrageous postings or defacements of the encyclopedia. |
Worst affected by the flurry of hacking activity was a third-party website that would normally report on website defacements. |
