    Looks like someone called "zerocrown" hacked comp.dit.ie home page. AFAIK it's down atm but have a look under google cache.
    Happened on sunday 1pm

    pics or gtfo i hear you say?

    (note the lack of style and pics is expected as it's google cache but the main point to note is that someone added their own hacked news post)

    Not the first time its been hacked either, maybe they should change CMS or maybe actually update the site!

    Last time it was hacked the entire page was defaced, whoever made that content management system needs to fix it or better yet update that site, its an absolute disgrace of a site for a school of computing, a simple generic Dreamweaver template together with a clearly vunerable backend, but sure its DIT so will be interesting to see how long it takes for them to notice the hack or even better to update the site which is long overdue!
