Redtube.com is in the top 100 most visited websites, and was temporarily shut down by a 'Turkish cyber-terrorist' group calling itself 'Hacked Netdevilz'.

"No porn!" the site read. "We're not the first but we're the best."

The site, which attracted four million visitors last month, is now back up and running on a different server, but experts are poring over the site's logs to find the vulnerability that allowed the security features to be bypassed.

Redtube posts submitted videos, in the same way as YouTube, and attempts are now underway to discover whether the security hole is common to other web 2.0 sites.

Any good log system is going to be modular (separate from the web site itself), and more than that, can only be added to, not deleted or modified. I doubt the guys at Redtube are that ignorant of web standards. Think of it as CD-R, if you will. Their logs are intact, guaranteed.
