Mozilla Korea Hacked..
http://www.mozillazine.org/ ^ | 2005-06-13 | Mozzilazine

The main Korean language Mozilla site appears to have been hacked and defaced. While the main www.mozilla.or.kr page is unaffected (it now redirects to the forums), several other pages, including www.mozilla.or.kr/products, have been replaced by the message "Simiens Crew ownz u viva os macacos".

Unlike Mozilla Europe, Mozilla Japan and Mozilla China, the Korean Mozilla site is not officially affiliated with the Mozilla Foundation. The community-run site offers localised Korean versions of Mozilla applications, Korean user support forums and a Korean translation of MozillaZine.

The site appears to have been attacked by the Simiens Crew, a prolific Brazil-based hacking group. The Simiens Crew has attacked several high-profile sites, often exploiting a vulnerability in the AWStats log file analyzer. In February, the group defaced the official site for Paramount's forthcoming War of the Worlds film. The text "Simiens Crew ownz u viva os macacos" has been previously used in the defacement of lyrics.koreamusic.net. In Portuguese, "os macacos" means "the monkeys" ("Simiens" could be a misspelling of "Simians", meaning apes).

Too bad, but hackers are everywhere.

Interesting graphic from that link you posted. Is that red star the Mozilla symbol?
