This is the 4th NEC Web site Prime Suspectz has defaced. Besides NEC USA, they have also defaced NEC Taiwan, NEC Colombia, and NEC Brazil.

The group WFD has also defaced NEC Hong Kong.

Ironically, the current special feature on the NEC USA Web site today is about Biometrics and Computer Security.
NEC is a manufacturer of computer hardware and electronics and has a whole division based out of Japan dedicated to "discrete devices".
