Window Security Site Defaced With Anti-XP Message
http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/171523.html

As Microsoft [NASDAQ:MSFT] Chairman Bill Gates was celebrating the release
of Windows XP in New York today, Web vandals replaced the home page of
Windowsecurity.com with a derogatory message about Redmond's new operating
system. 

The Windowsecurity.com site, registered to Enershield Window Film
Services, has no connection to the big software firm. But attackers
apparently thought it made a clever target for their message. 

"There will never be any secure Windows OS!" said the page put up by a
hacking group calling itself ConClaveCrew.
