defacements
Acts of marring
Defacements are acts of marring or disfiguring something, typically by marking or damaging its surface.
The word usually applies to property: The defacements of the subway cars included spray-painted tags and scratched windows.
Website defacements involve hackers altering a site's appearance, often to display messages or embarrass the owner.
