They knocked out a UK government site which I link to in my job as well. I am not able to say which site, but I had to contact our duty office as soon as I discovered the breach.

How secure is this site, perhaps we all better mug up on our annexe in case if you catch my drift

best advise I can give any one is get behind a fire wall and dont trust the one that comes with windows_xp lol

a good free one is at zonealarm

free zonealarm firewall

a free pop up stopper can be got at:
free pop up blocker

and lastly a free program that helps stop any spywear getting at your internet explorer:
free spyblaster program

I run all three lol
