I was just checking on the site,when i discovered it has been hacked by "over-x" http://www.abiastate.gov.ng I think the dude is some sick dude,he has been hacking LOTS of websites of recent, http://www.zone-h.org/archive/notifier=Over-X

there are many sick kids out there. I have a site like that and get alerted each time the site blocks a hack attempt, the number of emails i receive daily has increase tremendously.
Some ppl no get work.

In the Nigerian context, I think it is good so that we stop awarding contracts like this based on cronyism. Also, it will hopefully make the leaders more educated with respect to online ventures.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a co-worker of mine last year. After getting his shared account hacked such that it wiped out, according to him, over 100 websites, he had a friend write a worm such that each time his account was hacked, the worm would deploy and infect the hackers computer. He said after a while, the hacking stopped.

Maybe the above is something fellow web developers should take into account as they look to make their sites more secure.

I actually looked in that direction also, but writing such worm beats me,
one way i corner the attempts is to append "deny IPADDRESS" to my .htaccess file, send me a mail and tell hacker that he has been reported.
70% of the time, they stop trying,

some still go a head to proxy but surely, before they get 2 work, they proxy ip gets zapped too
so they eventually stop trying and move to, well maybe your website
