    came across this "OwnZ yOuR B0x!!" today at link not sure if the owners know about it.
    Code:
    <tr>
    <td valign="top" colspan="2">
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Fatal Error</title>
    </head>
    <center>
    <img border="0" src="http://www.vivaolinux.com.br/imagens/artigos/comunidade/Tux_Vesgo.png">
    </p>
    <font size="4"><b>Fatal Error</b></font><br />
    <font size="6"><b><fonte color=balck">OwnZ yOuR B0x!!</b></font>
    <p>
    <br /><br />Elemento_pcx e s4r4d0
    </body>
    </html></td>
    </tr>

    So why don't you contact the website owners directly instead of posting on a public forum?

    Eeeeeem! As a person with an interest in developing a website someday (soon) I was curious if this was a common occurrence. Is it someone playing tricks for kicks? How were they able to infiltrate the index file to alter it? Just a pupil of the 'dark art' trying to learn

    It's o.k. Blacknight...it's not hosted on your server :D.

    Defacements are fairly common. The attack vector varies, but it's often an out of date / insecure CMS (or a plugin for same)
