From their web page:
We have confirmed a good hack. We're compiling details now, look for them first in the security forum and then posted to the site. Reading through their forum a bit, it seems people are complaining that the NT box was set up by a seasoned veteran of NT administration, while the linux box was basically a stock install. Further, the linux box was not hacked, but defaced via a poorly written CGI script. This said based on user feedback on the forum. ISN is sponsored by Security-Focus.COM
