'An Alliance of Hackers' dubbed the Hackers Against America (HAA) has had its website defaced by er a Hacker.
HAA were running a version of BIND which was so old that it had a certain vulnerability which all hackers knew about. Being the sort of network experts they are, the Pirates had failed to install the patches.

    Cygwin can be used to get a free compiler to work on a Windows host, as well as other things, but hosting something not intended for use on a box's native O\S gets very complex to secure right. Not defending them, saying they were too lazy to do the job right in first place, agreed.
