This is yet another case of defacement of a governmental web site. It is amazing to note it is nearly never the large commercial and financial web sites that are defaced. It is either small mom and dad shops or government and political web sites. Don't you get the feeling the government IT is run like a mom and dad shop? Do you wonder if it is only the IT part that is run that way?
