Hacked!

Around 4 or 4:30 AM Eastern time my web host, inmotionhosting.com, was hacked.  Mine was one of many that were "defaced", displaying a crude message announcing that the site had been "HackeD By TiGER-M@TE", and displaying a handful of what I presume where the hackers' handles.

My compliments to Inmotoion for resolving the problem for all of us in a timely manner.

I have to say that I'm disappointed by the hackers, though.  I feel that they should have put a little more, or any, effort into their graphics package.  I suspect that they simply bought some prebuilt package of hacking software on some Russian hosted website with a stolen credit card, dumped it into the first exploit they found and then went and laughed themselves silly over a beer.   No real sense of craftsmanship or pride.  No real effort put into it.  Basically the child like work of teenage hoods.
