Clients, who include musician Paul Weller, nightclub Stringfellows and shoe designer Jimmy Choo, saw their sites temporarily go down following the attack by a hacker called Fluffi Bunni. Staff at NetNames decided to suspend all the sites while they removed the hacker's work, which referred to religion and the World Trade Centre tragedy. NetNames is now undergoing an investigation to find out how its security was breached. "We became aware of the hacker around 9am this morning, but everything was resolved soon after," said Jonathan Robinson, chief executive, of NetBenefit, NetNames' parent company. "I can't say it will never happen again, but we will do everything we can to stop a repeat," he said. He added: "This person obviously wanted publicity and used the recent events to get it." Revolution's web site was also affected by the incident. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Do you need to encrypt all your online transactions?
