Sometimes, I don’t understand hackers.

The Phoenix Mars Lander mission is important– to search for traces of organic compounds that are building blocks of life in, you got it right, Mars. So, with this mission, we can only hope that all corners are covered, including the simplest project website that allows all of us remain updated.

Unfortunately not as a spokeswoman for the Phoenix Mars Lander mission revealed that a hacker took over its public website hosted by the University of Arizona, changed its lead news story, and redirected it somewhere else.

Oh well, most of the time I do not understand those that are being hacked.
