Secure? 

Are you kidding me? I expect to hear the DHS is hosting a Jihadi website and the FBI is handling kiddie porn. Meanwhile, the Saudi government will just host hard-core. Spammers get their venture capital from criminals, who hire cracers (not hackers) for more money than they can make at home. So they're one, maybe two steps away from the security geeks.
