In a twist on the classical defacement incident, supporters of the Turkish PM defaced, as a retaliation, the web site of hackers who just recently defaced the PM web site. A disturbing question is whether this is a juvenile mischief or was the act planned and executed by PM supporters. Did the political spin reached web site hacking?
