By Gregg Keizer

June 27, 2008 (Computerworld)  Turkish hackers yesterday defaced the
official sites of the international organizations that oversee the

A group calling itself "NetDevilz" claimed responsibility for the hack,
which Thursday morning temporarily redirected visitors to the sites for
IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) and ICANN (Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).
