Anti War Hackers - But Be Quick
Discussion
You're really endeavouring to live up to your handle today, Phil.. 
I agree with you in principle, but I can't help loathing compass group for all the digusting canteen, transit lounge and airplane food they've served me over the years. Bollox to 'em
BTW - It might not be big, but it's certainly clever to a degree

I'm with you on this one CarZee
Having been on the receiving end of this sort of crap, and having had lots of hassle rebuilding a hacked website, my sense of humour deserts me completely on this issue. If you want to create a humourous (?)comment on the war, do so on a web site of your own.
Hacking is not funny.
Who needs to grow up? The hackers, and anyone witless enough to support them imbecilic actions by proclaiming them as funny. Or clever. Sorry CarZee, its not, kiddies can do it - even (particularly?) the council estate scum you love so much. I'd have thought it would take more to impress you.

Backups .... wonderful things. Clients .. not always so wonderful. Add in corporate lethary, company politics, third party server support, unsigned support contracts on accountants desks, remote servers, software suppliers who leave the wrong set of installation disks, incompetant and largely unavailable US support personnel, and of course Mr Gates, without whom none of this would have been possible. Yes, backups. Wonderful.
But isn't this something like suggesting its OK to spray painting "Capitalist Scum" on someones TVR? I mean, anti graffiti paint is available isn't it? And you could always get a respray. Keep an aerosol handy in your paint colour, you know it makes sense.
Or maybe akin to fraudulent insurance claims - hell, they've got money, and its not like it hurts anyone.
You weren't seriously suggesting that its OK to hack web sites because there will be backups? Were you? And you run an IT Services Company?

I am with victormeldrew on this one - I too have been on the receiving end (well helping the clear-up anyway) of this type of thing. Just a couple of things:
1) It isnt clever at all... anyone can do it and it doesnt require brains
2) Its lazy - you want to prove something, get of your fat lazy arse and do it, not at a computer
3) 'Large faceless corporates' dont really exist - they are run by people (good or bad) and isnt their fault.
4) It is criminal and it is effectively graffiti - and unamusing at that
Not amusing or funny.

No. I wasn't suggesting it's ok to hack servers, i was suggesting that it's often much easier to get the data back witha little forward planning. Although if charging by the hour for a website rebuild, i suppose backups are a bad thing.
