Ok guys not sure who's seeing this but the main entry page seems to have been hacked by some random group. The boards seem to be ok you can get to them directly but I'm not sure everyone knows this.

Just be carefully and scan your computers just to be safe.

Best I can tell, it's a hacking group that hacks sites as a pranks.  Best I can tell, they don't seem to do much in the way of damaging things or putting in viruses, but I can't be 100% sure of that. 

EDIT:  I just peeked at the source.  Unless I missed something, it's a completely harmless webpage.  I can find no sign of any malicious code.

aaaaand I removed it.  Gonna see about changing our passwords as soon as I'm done here.

The good news is, they didn't delete anything, they just added their own replacement index page.  Easily fixed.

Yeah, I checked them out--their replacement index contained multiple twitter accounts and handles after all--and they appear to be more mischeivous then malicious.  Annoying, but ultimately harmless.

Gah!  Well, at least they don't seem to have done any real harm.  What's the point of that kind of thing?  Ohh well.

From what I could see on their Twitter page they just do it to prove they can. Even when they lock people out they set the username to Admin and password to their sites name.

From what I could see they just keep moving. Seems pointless.

I'm just glad it wasn't a destructive hack.  This was something I could fix myself.
