"you'd think they'd eventually get tired of it"

That's not going to happen, at least not for the forseeable future. "Tagging" pHp boards has become the new graffiti of the internet with different script kiddie gangs competing for the most scalps.

Originally most of the groups were operating out of S.A., especially Brazil, with home bases set up on smaller irc networks (brasnet.org) or private servers (metronet) because they can use open SOCKS ports on WinGate machines to bounce a connection through a zombie, making it hard to trace.

Best thing to do is stay patched with the latest updates & make sure that you only have one index.html page w/o any sensitive information on it. Fortunately most of these maggots have just enough smarts to create "l33t" nicknames and run a script but have no clue how to do any real damage, even if they manage to get in :-) edited to correct the inevitable typos Message edited on: 04/17/2005 14:45
