DEFACING

Website defacing is an often low-tech computer attack that exploits a vulnerability in a website to change its content (often its home page). Le nouveau contenu est généralement militant, ou tout simplement potache (voire très potache…).

If visitors wrongly alert you to the fact that your site is being smeared, it's high time you hired a real web designer.
