Hackers attacked Senator Lundy's personal website at the domain level through her internet service provider, Virtual Communities Austar, directing users to a garbled message in Portuguese and Latin. Senator Lundy, who prides herself as having built and maintained the site herself as one of the first politicians to delve into the internet, says the integrity of her site at katelundy.com.au/index.htm remained intact and that the hacker attacked the ISP. The attack is thought to have occurred in the morning yesterday. The Senator Lundy said the problem would be resolved as soon as she was able to get someone from the ISP on the telephone. "Like a lot of users who experience problems getting through to their ISP, I'm having trouble getting through the labyrinth to the help desk to tell them what happened," the Senator said. _________________________________________ Donate online for the Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes - http://www.c4i.org/ethan.html
