(NEW YORK) — Hackers took over and defaced Comcast Corp.'s Web portal
for several hours overnight, leaving a cryptic message on the site that
the company's 14.1 million subscribers use to access e-mail, news and
technical support.

The front page of Comcast.net went down shortly before 11 p.m. EDT
Wednesday and was replaced with a note saying the hackers had "RoXed"
Comcast, according to postings at BroadbandReports.com.
