O.k., just to prove I'm not a real hacker, let me ask my dumb question: 
Don't you have to hack a server in order to deface it?  Or is it because the 
goofballs managed to *merely* deface the website, rather than actually get 
into the software packages, that it's not considered "hacking" proper?

Please enlighten me.
