The First Forensic Forum, a group of computer forensics professionals, appears to have been the victim of hackers. The group's website has been defaced, and now displays a message from a person or group calling themselves S4udi-S3curity-T3rror.

"The F3 For Security Hacked !!!!! What's Happened In The world \: Thay Are No Security Or What !!!!," says the message.

The attack was first noticed last night, and as of the time of writing the problem is still not rectified.

Such an incident is embarrassing for any organisation, but for a group that specifically deals with computer crime it has an element of irony. The First Forensic Forum declined to comment.
