SECURE EMAIL email outfit Hushmail has had its web site hacked.

Hushmail.com was defaced over the week-end, with visitors being redirected to a different server after an attacker got access to Husmail DNS maintenance panel.

Although the site is still down completely now, according to a mirror of the defacement, which can be seen here, the domain www.hushmail.com was hackjd to read: "The Secret Service is watching. -Agent Leth and Clown Jeet 3k Inc".

On Sunday at 4am the page was removed and at 8:35 AM yesterday the site Hushmail.com is reachable in Europe only by its IP address 65.39.178.11, while the query through DNS doesn't resolve.

The corporate site is still up and running but since its news and press release page has not been updated since November 2002 don't expect to find any up to date information. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
