Quote; "Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Blog we dealt with last week has been hacked and defaced today. The defacement was notified to Zone-H by a group of crackers known as "Y Underground" that put down the website (based on Windows 2000 + IIS 5.0) using an attack reportedly based on a web application loophole (uhm... yes, another one).
