Well it goes to show that nothing is ever really secure. Even a popular forum run by some very proficient computer enthusiasts was compromised. Although the conversations between the administrators and the individual on MSN seemed to reveal that it “was nothing personal,” the site has been down for some time now and there are concerns that he had access to the database. For now, you will have to visit the IRC channel.
Best of luck guys, I hope that everything is back up soon.
