Defacement IS 'that big a deal." It is criminal damage. It it NOT just a bit of fun, a harmless prank, a schoolboy misdemeanour. It is damage to someone else's property done by someone who is now costing the site owner money.

I'd guess Apple probably have enough money to fix this,some of it being mine, but that isn't the issue. Hacking is a criminal offence. The sooner we start jailing people for it instead of smiling indulgently and wondering at how clever the young folk are these days, the sooner everyone else can get back to work.

Hacking isn't smart, big or clever. Let's prove it.
