As you may have noticed, Zone-H got defaced in the night between Dec 21st
and Dec 22nd. This was an elaborate attack that was possible (as most of
the past Zone-H incidents), starting with the exploitation of the human
factor. We are pleased to post this explanation as it is a very good
example on how your security can be jeopardized by bugs, and ones (Hotmail)
apparently not related to the system you are using.

The funny part is that the incident happened yesterday night, exactly when
all Zone-H board members where around a table for the x-mas dinner
discussing about an hypotethical Zone-H incident and backup policies.
