For the Attrition mirror of this defacement:

http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/2000/09/29/www.ocregister.com/

I think that USA Today and the OCR understate the defacement: the
front page and several internal pages were defaced, and USA Today
didn't even provide a link back to the mirror (above).

The original article, at Inside.com, by Adam Penenberg
(http://www.inside.com/story/Story_Cached/0,2770,10757_7_4_1,00.html)
is much better.

cheers,
