Hacker takes whack at Yankees' Web site
Associated Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 27 -- A hacker did to the New York Yankees' Web site what the Mets
failed to do to the pinstriped team on the field — shut it down.
The team's official site, www.yankees.com, was temporarily closed early
Friday, hours after the Yankees clinched their third straight World Series
title by defeating the Mets 4-2 in Game 5.
''There was a hacking incident. The Web site was temporarily shut down
because of it,'' Yankees spokesman Rick Cerrone said. ''We have turned it over
to the FBI and intend to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.''
The site was up and running Friday, with the home page displaying a colorful
graphic of the World Series 2000 logo and the word ''Champions.''
