Overworked hackers' archive closes

Safemode.org has announced that it is to stop archiving hacked websites.

The site has shut down because it can no longer deal with the sheer volume of defacements.

The move follows Attrition.org's decision to suspend its service last year.

The cause of the Safemode closure is explained in detail on its homepage.

Operator Zillion says the daily task of recording and archiving website defacements has become a chore.

"Until a year ago the daily amount of defacements where so low that I 'appreciated' all of them," he writes. "Now every morning I open my mailbox with 100-150 emails."

He also cites legal grounds for the move: "Running a defacement mirror without breaking any of these laws requires a lot of discipline and takes away the fun element."
