Attackers defaced a Web server belonging to Microsoft's [NASDAQ:MSFT] MSN Careers portal Sunday, the latest in a string of security breeches at sites operated by the software giant.

The home page of the "Who's Hiring" server, which hosts regional job listings for MSN's Job Hunt section, was replaced with a text message which read, "Perfect.br owned y0u." The defaced page was still viewable this morning.

The compromised server appears to be running Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) version 4.0.

Microsoft officials were not immediately available for comment.
