If "hackers" these days don't know about using proxies or anonymisers to leave fake chat room trails, then perhaps they would better be adverted as 'kiddy hackers', or 'kackers' for short. hmm

Vandalism 

Vandalism is still vandalism whether it's seen by a million people or 1.

It's a bit like the burglar saying "Well Guv! They left the blinking door open!"

And, of course, an open door does not mean it is ok to burgle.

Hackers ! 

Alert

Why not make use of their talents in a better way Mr FRANCE. If they have the knowledge to do so why not tell them once small congregate and tell those concern the methods they used and suggest how this could be prevented.

Mr France think about that !

French hacking 

We have been targeted by French hackers in the past. The method they always used was to try and to brute force a guest ftp account.

Duh.

I heard they surrendered, just in case they got caught. BTW how many web sites are there in Iceland? Apart from the well known supermarket one....

Paris, cos she's good with French

No surprise there. That'll be because that's the way that they're always done it in France and the fact that it was crap to start with and doesn't work any more isn't going to stop them continuing to use it.

It's a bit like building fortifications on the German border.
