RIAA 0wn3d again. :)

What does RIAA use for their website if they can be messed around with this easily, a toothbrush?

voidmain:
I guess we can't expect their security to be that great. After all, the administrators are probably just a bunch of lawyers.

well i think it's very funny. shame there's no jpeg of it in its defaced condition in the article!

of course it is my opinion that if you can gain access to a computer, then you should be able to use it to the best of your capabilities if you want to.

that sounds radical but really all i am saying is that if admins want to keep their machines secure then *they* should do it, and not go around whining about 'hackers' all the time. my message to admins who allow their site to get broken into is 'hackers are not the problem - your poor admining is the problem'.

however i am sure the RIAA wouldn't agree with me on this point of ethics.  

TheGreatPoo:
Calum: That doesn't sound radical at all.  If I want to pretect my car, I don't leave it unlocked and then go bitch to police about car theaves.  I lock it, put an alarm on it, LoJack, whatever I have to do to keep it from being stolen and the same concept should be used in the computing world.

Very good point Calum.

Calum is right...but they are also running Windows 2000, which doesn't really help the security problem of bad admins.
