Today's humor de jour. I have GOT to stop getting up so early ;)
A Web (easier to read) version of this sucker is at:

Around 2:54am ET this morning (Tuesday, January 23) the Web site for
Microsoft New Zealand was defaced by the group Prime Suspectz. This is the
6th time a Microsoft Web site has been defaced and they have previously
experienced defacements in both Brazil and Slovenia.

The full list of past Microsoft targets have included:
msrconf.microsoft.com (a supposed retired MS server and the first recorded
defacement of a Microsoft server) on October 24, 1999

Prime Suspectz is a group known for their regular campaign against foreign
Web sites of large multinational corporations including Nike Brazil,
Panasonic Italy, BMW France, Chevrolet Argentina, Samsung South Africa,
Nintendo Spain and many more. See our previous commentary on high profile
foreign defacements for a full list -
http://www.attrition.org/security/commentary/hp-foreign-01.html
Their targets aren't only limited to the foreign sites of multinational
corporations. Yesterday Prime Suspectz defaced the Ford Motor Corporation's
Media Web site.

A full list of Prime Suspectz previous defacements are available at
http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/psuspectz.html .
Prime Suspectz isn't the only group defacing high profile foreign sites. In
the last 3 days, sites for Canon Greece, Canon Turkey, and Xerox India have
also been defaced. We expect to see this trend continue until these
companies work to secure their global Web sites as well or better than
their flagship portals.
