Here is a little excerpt from the article:
Youthful entrepreneurs Alex Yang and Travis Rowland didn't know until recently that terrorism was about to affect them in a very personal way.
Let me explain. 15-year-old Yang runs a small software encryption business at www.eisecure.com. The site is hosted on www.flohost.com, owned by 17-year-old Travis Rowland.
But terrorists must be getting so desperate in their continuing attempt to find internet service providers willing to host their militant propaganda that they had to hack into Yang's small site.
Yang found that an Arabic web site recently known as alneda.com, originally believed by U.S. officials to have been used by al-Qaeda to deliver messages possibly connected with further attacks and subsequently hijacked by a Maryland pornographer, had resurfaced yet again. To his horror, it was buried deep within his small site at http://eisecure.com/images/smilie/index.php.....

Let me explain. 15-year-old Yang runs a small software encryption business at www.eisecure.com. The site is hosted on www.flohost.com, owned by 17-year-old Travis Rowland.
11 yr old CEO James Bardely of JB Data Systems International, yesterday confirmed his company was in discussions with several large Wall street invesment banks. An IPO is immenant. His company has pioneered a new data encryption technology that will revolutionise the net. Major government contracts have been signed and JB Data Systems will be the leader in this breakthrough encryption technology.
James said that he built the encryption technology in his spare time with his good buddy Brad. We worked between classes and sometimes at home when his Mom let him use the family computer.
News flash - Microsoft has just secured the technology developed by JB Data Systems International for 5 XBoxes and free games for life. The technology is now safely stored in Microsoft's vaults, so noone can benefit from this amazing technological breakthrough by JB Data Systems International. :D
Just kidding here folks ;)
WildCard 10-03-2002, 07:14 AM I agree this may be negative to your company - given your age and that now you have terrorist stink on you.
Logically it could have happened to an adult as well, but hey - you never did mention what the hackers did to get in. Did they use a PHP bug or something?
Let's see the backup of the site.
