High Profile Foreign Sites

What do Lucent, Silicon Graphics, Epson, Borland, NEC, Visa, Nintendo
and Nextel have in common? They were all victims of web page
defacement this month, mostly by a group calling themselves 'prime
suspectz'. The catch? In each case, it wasn't the United States based
web server. 'prime suspectz' and other defacers have recently taken on
a pattern of going after their slightly lesser known foreign pages. In
cases like Silicon Graphics, their own machine running Irix was
compromised, leading to more questions about Irix security. Had each
of these been the primary/US based server, we no doubt would have seen
several news articles about the events.
