Honestly, I think it's more likely that there are rookie police officers at the other ends of the cameras watching the various malls, etc. It would be much easier to have a packet of "criminals we want to find" sitting on the desk and watch the cameras around known hangouts of those criminals. Then it's a simple call to the police on the street with a full description of the criminal and what he/she is wearing and his current location. Why say it's done by computer? Probably because people would be up in arms if they knew that humans were on the other end.
Consider their own site? Had problems connecting? I think we can chalk that up to the/. effect. I've never had problems with 2600's page loading.
And they aren't "cracking other people's pages without an invitation." Read the page. Those are spoofs that people made of high profile web pages and were not actual hacks/cracks (whatever).
Further more you have no evidence that ANY such hacks shown on the page were initiated by the people at 2600. A hack happens, they document it.
