Buccaneers website hacked by Raiders fan.

SAN DIEGO -- Oakland Raiders fans have apparently won Round 1 in the off-field battle with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers partisans.
Tampa Bay officials confirmed that an unknown person, certainly believed to have been a Raiders supporter, "hacked" into the Bucs' official team Web site Saturday and changed a headline.

The original headline and story on the site dealt with the Bucs' final walk-through session for Super Bowl XXXVII. The headline on the story was changed to "Bucs Suck!! Go Raiders!"

Bucs officials said the bogus headline was on the site for about an hour before the team was alerted by users. The original story and headline were then restored.

Although most of the Tampa Bay staffers are here, the site was maintained throughout Super Bowl week and content was changed regularly. Officials said there is a firewall in place that is supposed to protect against hackers.

Scott Smith, who manages the team's Web site, said it was the first time such a breach had occurred. He said the Bucs might investigate, in an attempt to identify the culprit, and possibly bring charges.
