Hacktivism Part 2

from the Bore-vs-Gush-vote dept

If no one sees a hacktvist's web grafitti, does it really make a sound? It seems that the GOP.org site was replaced by a pro-Gore letter earlier today. It's probably not going to sway any votes whatsoever, but I liked how the MSNBC article ends with a quote from a Republican spokesperson suggesting this was part of the Democratic party's bag of dirty tricks.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Very nice hack

    I think the person behind this did a great job in getting his message across. At this point most news articles on it also are providing links to the still up hacked page being saved (www.attrition.org). I am guessing that it will have a large number of hits by people whom wish to read what they said. So my hats off to a very good script and writer for just haveing said whats on his mind and telling the GOP. Guess I voted for Gore huh..

    I'm not so sure the "hacker" did such a great job. He just pissed off a lot of Republicans. And his message wasn't particularly persuasive.... Not that I wasn't amused by it.
