ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA -- An LDS-oriented website was threatened by a group of crackers last week, according the the International Association For Counterterrorism &Security Professionals (IACSP), which owns the SecurityNet.net website, which was cracked by the group. The IACSP says that the cracks are only a nuisance, and easy to fix.

The crackers left a message on the SecurityNet.net site claiming that they would next attack a NASA site at Goddard Space Flight Center and the site http://www.mormon.com/. It is likely that the crackers chose mormon.com, thinking that it was a site sponsored by the LDS Church. Mormon.com is actually a privately-owned site with LDS-related material. The Church's official website is at http://www.lds.org/.
