Apache Web Site Hacked

In an attack earlier this week, a group of users appparently hacked the Apache Web site and placed an advertisement for Microsoft rival software on the main page. The group was deemed "white hats" or helpful hackers, by Apache officials due to the fact that the group then told the company how it used exploits in the software to gain access to the server. Rasmus Lerdorf, a member of the board of directors for the Apache Software Foundation, stated the group, "seemed friendly" and that the amount of damage was mild.
