re: high profile sites attacked

hmm, this sounds like a very familiar story...
a few months ago, an admittedly less high-profile site (for a London-based nightclub, since you ask...) was hacked by what seems like a very similar group of (Turkish) hackers.
whilst that hack didn't cause too much bother (defaced front page, etc), it was the subsequent hack (by al quaeda, allegedly!) that caused more significant damage.
Lets hope that these companies are prepared for some more serious attentions from undesirables - no doubt the hackers have already been boasting elsewhere of their exploits, & this news raises the profile of the hacks some more...
