To better serve the needs of those who rely on Attrition for information
about web defacements, we are offering a new mailing list.
'Defaced-commentary' will be a new mail list for sending out special
notifications of incidents we believe merit attention.

Some of the events or trends we plan on posting about are high-profile
defacements, such as major government or corporate sites. We will point
out noteworthy changes in attack trends, such as this summer's extreme
shift in the percentages of Linux defacements following the publication of
the wu-ftpd vulnerability.  We will comment on large trends in subject
matter, as in the case of the recent Israeli/Palestinian 'war' going on.
We will indicate unique or otherwise important issues in defacements.  We
will send out current statistical information we have gathered on defaced
sites.

It is understood that many people both in the computer industry and in
other fields rely on information from Attrition's site, and we believe
it's important to share as much insight into that information as possible.
Defaced-commentary will be our way to offer up-to-date advisories and
newsworthy reports on defacement trends.  It will be a low-traffic list,
as we will only post to it in the event of a significant incident we feel
should be shared.

To subscribe to defaced-commentary, simply send an email to
majordomo@attrition.org with "subscribe defaced-commentary" in the BODY of
the mail.
