Islamist Hackers Shut Down Egyptology Research Journal 564
An anonymous reader writes "Radical Islamist hackers have been harassing Egyptologist Kate Phizackerley's online journal Egyptological and her blog KV64. Phizackerley and her team finally got tired of it and shut their online work down. As blogger Roger Pearse says, 'A bunch of violent scumbags... who never have contributed in any way to the web, have successfully interfered with the scientific effort of the entire human race... Next year there will be more.' How do we route around damage like this?"

No, you route the damage to the attacker. A predator drone should do nicely.

THE PROPER RESPONSE TO HACKING. (Score:2, Funny)
Warn the hackers to cease their illegal activities. If necessary give a second warning with the explicit threat of physical rebuke. If they fail to cease their shenanigans then simply locate them but give them the choice of humane execution or amputation of their hands.
Done.

No such thing. The closest thing to invulnerable is The Tick [wikipedia.org], and even he's only nigh invulnerable.
