Hacker defaces Apple's online store
Apple's new "Get A Mac" ad campaign may be defending the Mac OS operating system, but the company suffered an embarrassing security setback as the Korean-localized version of its online Apple Store was hacked last Thursday.

I'll make sure I notify you the next time Apple harps on anyone about security.

Mr Hacker is also a little behind the times and quite the comedian.

He hacked the page to read... get this... it is really smart and funny.....
"All your base will belong to us"

Comedy worthy of the MacNN Turtle.

Hum.. that's all? Nobody is worried/concerned by this? Years of unsuccessful hack-a-Mac contest and now this is -worthy?

Not even a "who is laughing now" comment toward Apple? I'm puzzled...

because we have no details on how it was done, perhaps he could have just guessed the password.
