They always put up the worst HTML

Agreed. People have drawn the connection between web defacement and graffiti before, but I've always thought the web defacers should collaborate with underground artists and put some original graffiti art on sites.

I see nothing suspicious. Has it been fixed?

The page probably hasn't finished loading am I right? It appears to be loading some javascript from diskusjon.fiskehelse.org but due to the amount of traffic diskusjon.fiskehelse.org is probably getting, well, a tad overwhelmed.

When HFG defaced the New York Times Web site in 1998, the group posted a long, apparently heartfelt screed that cited Voltaire, Tennyson, and Emerson, and tried to put the hacking in the context of big battles that mattered:

"Just because we type in all caps and use 'elite' speak doesn't mean we are kids, or we don't own your dumb ass. For everyone who calls us immature kids, it shows one more person has underestimated us. And worse, what does that say about their security? That 'immature kids' were able to bypass their 25,000 dollar firewalls, bypass the security put there by admins with XX years of experience or a XXX degree from some college. Nyah Nyah. [...] The injustice Markoff has committed is criminal. He belongs in a jail rotting instead of Kevin Mitnick. Kevin is no dark side hacker. He is not malicious. He is not a demon. He did not abuse credit cards, distribute the software he found, or deny service to a single machine. Is that so hard to comprehend?"

In 2012 when PYK defaces the Saturday Night Live site, they post "Greetz to oday, BRUT4L & S4VAGE Fuck the Feds, 419 is just a game~~ USER INFO - EXPOSED PASSWORDS - DUMPED".

Is this now the worst they can imagine? Grabbing my Saturday Night Live password?

Bring back the heartfelt screeds and the poets! At least HFG thought what they did was important.

Sheesh, kids these days.
