Attrition is an information security-related website, created in October, 1998,[1] which used to be updated at least weekly by an all-volunteer staff.
Until 21 May 2001,[2] Attrition maintained the largest mirror of defaced (or cracked) websites available on the World Wide Web.
[4] In 2001, attrition.org was given a cease and desist order by lawyers of MasterCard for posting parodies of its "Priceless" advertising campaign, which they claim violated copyright law.
[6] In 2006, Republican communications aide Todd Shriber attempted to hire Attrition to crack his former university's website.
[8] Attrition formerly hosted several electronic mailing lists relating to information security, such as InfoSec News.
