Naturally there was offline dialogue going on about this.
In fact the admins themselves found out this accidents
and our dialogue was only before that in search of "curious"
errors.

I just wanted to make the point that there is a real and high
probability being hacked (higher than I thought ever).

AND another point is: if the hackers would not have
shown themselves, i.e. if they had not done the hacking
"just for fun", they could still be the "silent admin" of
these sites without ever being noticed.

I wonder how many of us have black passengers without
ever knowing it; I think there is a need for *some* silent places 
when you walk thru the net - e.g. for private proxies or 
nuke-software to hide.
