Famed hacker Kevin Mitnick was himself the target of hackers over the weekend, when the computer hosting Mitnick's Web site was broken into and his front page replaced with a vulgar message.

The message placed on Mitnick's Web site started with: "ZMOG!! THE MITNICK GOTZ OWNED!!" and continues with expletives and a picture of Mitnick with some modifications. Security Web site Zone-H first reported the hack on Monday and has screenshots of the replaced Web pages.
The hackers are believed to be operating out of Pakistan and Mitnick was the apparent target of the attack, as his site was the only one defaced. The compromised server was taken offline to be reinstalled, Mitnick said.
Mitnick spent five years behind bars for computer fraud after being caught by the FBI.
