ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The hacker behind Sunday's attack is fairly well known in Internet circles and doesn't try to hide his or her tracks.

Earlier this winter, an image and message similar to the ones that appeared on the airport's site showed up on the Information Security Association's Web site in the United Kingdom. The group is a nonprofit international organization of information security professionals.

A hacker Web site that chronicles such exploits gives iSKORPiTX credit for defacing hundreds of other Web sites, including state government sites in Iowa, Georgia and Tennessee.
