Seriously, the only way to keep your pages secure is making sure you/your writings/employer/lawyer don't offend or treat anybody. And since it's quite impossible if you want something more than just another boring website you better get used to the thought that there's someone insane enough to lose lots of time just to temporarily alter your website contents. I guess the same rules go for keeping the billboards safe from being spray-painted, but cleaning a website is a bit faster.

By the way, after all those years of yelling at M$'s products (they're insecure! faulty! icky!) it's strange to read that their first site was cracked in '99. Isn't it a kind of proof that their software DOES sometimes work? Or was it 'A cracking contest easy enough nobody tried to win it'?
