The site www.cedar- rapids.org was hacked at 11:19 p.m. Saturday. The defacement wasn't permanent, but 20 pages connected to the home page were replaced by a page bearing the legend "HACK IS NOT A CRIME IS BREAKING YOUR 'SECURITY.'" The slogan was accompanied by user names of the "linuXploit crew."
