Bank site shut down after hackers attack (ANTI-Bush Message)
<snip>

People logging on to the main page of the site (www.middlesexbank.com) found a message reading "Attacked by SCRIPTX" followed by a note reading "Bush Where Is the Peace?? Message For bush: You are not a Man ideal to make peace in the world.....I hate you and I hate your country"

Natick police received a call from a customer in the afternoon and notified the bank officials who were already aware of the problem. The Web site was closed late yesterday afternoon, said Sgt. Bob Dunlop.

<snip>

The message read "long live Palestine" and was signed by "Darkhunter." The end of the message listed two e-mail addresses and an expletive directed at President Bush.

Dunlop said officers forwarded the information to the Secret Service for further investigation.

1. Netcraft.com says: they were running Windows 2000
Edited on Sun Aug-24-03 10:31 AM by htuttle
Fools were running Netscape Enterprise server on Solaris at a third party provider until June 2002 when they switched TO W2K/IIS. It looks like they decided to take over hosting the site themselves.

Fools.
