The Web site for the Associated Press (www.ap.org) was hacked early Wednesday morning, but the attack appeared to affect only the site’s home page and didn’t have any impact on other operations, AP said.

The home page of the site was changed to a page of text headed with “0wn3d by Hfury.” Most of the rest of the text appeared to be screen names and symbols. Other pages on the site were still available, but only if a user knew the exact address of a page.
