The
BBC reported a hack attempt on the
tsunami relief website with the hacker getting a visit from the Met who didn't bother knocking on their way in. Dirty hacking twunts.
Except the 'hack' seems to have been
making a donation to the fund with a 'non standard' browser - in this case lynx. That'll teach those pesky
linuses and
blind people.
And if you are wondering what a linus is you'll have to wait until I find the link on NewLinks.
Note to self: We really need a hack icon.

Absolutely - it is the shittest case of knaa nowt admin - evar!
The user agent would presumably have been listed as Lynx. FFS even if you hadn't heard of it how hard would it have been to google for it before calling the police?
Ill have a go at a hack icon tonight.
Any ideas?
Erm.. maybe an RMS one like the one in the edited post ;)
But feel free to stick another one in - we could do with a hack category as well as hacker. I reckon any clip from any hacky film or maybe Lizzie Borden would do. :)
I'm off to look for a hack story.
Yay - there's a fight on at my house tonight! ;)
Hey I'm immoral never mind my fscking job! ;)
