Yep... and there have been scandals, as I recall, in the past where the 
news either angled for a position in a major disaster or actually 
orchestrated an attack in process... (anyone remember the issue with the 
L.A. riots and that person in the truck who got attacked?)

But, should we then throw the baby out with the bathwater and ban the 
news?  Of course not...

Yep... well, virtually everything is a cost-benefit ratio in this 
world.   Aside from that, though, people would still deface sites 
regardless of whether there was an archive site up.  The primary motive 
for the defacement is often the initially hit of defacement itself.

Frankly, what's a bigger issue than general defacement is when the 
kiddies put spyware or trojans on the defaced site....

Hahaha... I haven't seen the word "krad" used in a long time... it's 
funny, these kiddies try to act all |<-rad |<001 31334 but they lose the 
lingo in their focus on the idiotic lettering... it's like wannabes 
failing at being wannabes.

Agreed.
