AP Scared Siteless

Crackers deface the corporate Web site of the Associated Press leaving behind a Halloween message and a poem by Edgar Allen Poe.

The "United Loan Gunmen" apparently struck again Sunday, this time by cracking the venerable Associated Press.

Content on the wire service's corporate Web site was replaced with a Halloween greeting along with a poem by Edgar Allen Poe, according to the AP. The AP said its news wires were unaffected by the intrusion.

The crackers have previously claimed credit for attacks on the Nasdaq and the American Stock Exchange, as well as the Drudge Report, C-Span, and ABC.
