As of 8AM this morning, November 21, 2007, the Iskorpitx website hack message was still displayed.

Iskorpitx is notorious for hacking the most websites simultaneously.

Thought to be a 45-year-old Turkish man, Iskorpitx successfully hacked at least 21,549 sites at once (a tally is still being made-expect the final count to be much higher), defacing pages on all of them. His signature included a Turkish flag, his handle and country of origin, and several repetitions of the "f-word" next to the names of France, Greece, and Armanian - SecurityProNews

According to Stokia.com:

...the mass defacement appears to be related in some way to sites registered or hosted through godaddy or secureserver.net.

zone-h.org has text file that contains a list of the defaced sites at http://www.zone-h.org/defaced/list.txt. We have done a whois search on about 30 sites in the list. All show godaddy as the registrar.

The hack seems to have been done through a asp script that is automatically installed on all hosting customers accounts on these particular servers.

The mass defacement was placed in a sub directory on each site. /ssfm/isko.htm

At this time, I'm trying to reach LTO to inform them about the situation. I'll keep you updated.
