The European Union's attempt to promote a safer Internet and "tackle 
the controversial issue of illegal and harmful content on the 
Internet" has been hacked and is still down a day later. 

The unknown hackers left this message on SaferInternet.org: "This is 
our world! We are god and we make the rulezzzzz Happy finding us! 
The Netherlands is tha place! www.hal2001.nl". Unobjective egotism 
aside, the irony is delightful.

Paul Rogers from MAS Corporate Defence Solutions had this to tell 
us: "The server is not as secure as it should have been; it would 
seem some patches hadn't been installed. The VNC, ColdFusion system 
ports, FTTP access and MS single server port were all open. It was 
only going to be a matter of time before it was hacked."
