RIAA Defaced, Taken Off Line

The web site of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)
was apparently hacked in retaliation for a lawsuit it filed against
a Chinese site from which people could download music. The hackers
posted a phony apology message on RIAA's site and made some songs
available for download. An RIAA spokeswoman acknowledged a problem
with the site and said they would have it fixed soon, but provided
no details. The site was taken off-line. The RIAA was the victim of
a denial of service attack in July.
