	Attrition Defacement Statistics
		It SHOULD go without saying that not all defacements are reported to Attrition, Attrition does not get every defacement that is reported to us, and that these statistics refer only to our archive.
		All of the tallies, graphs, tables, and etc., count each "Mass Hack" as one defacement unless otherwise stated.
		The easiest discrepancy to find is between total defacements and adding up the totals for each month.

		Website defacement was never a big concern when the internet first started, but as the internet started to grow and security was less focused on and less secure, it started to multiple.
		The fact that it was defaced can easily scare away hundreds, thousands or even more customers, simply out of fear that their credit and other personal information is now at risk.

		The announcement that the founder of the last major defacement mirror, as such sites are known, will retire because of "total burnout and frustration" raises the specter that the annual increases in online vandalism may lead to the demise of those groups that chronicled the phenomenon.
		In May, defacement recorder Attrition.org stopped actively logging sites that had been hit by digital graffiti; it had been in operation for nearly three years.

		The official website of Afghanistan's National Taliban Party has been defaced by what appears to be a new script kid on the block, but experts say it may be a fake.
		Read said it was likely that the attacker, who has not claimed any other defacements, is probably a script kiddie exploiting one of the holes in the IIS 5 webserver.
