SpaceSim Central has been hacked!

Post by JazHaz »

Just called up http://spacesimcentral.com/ to see if there was a post about the release of v1.76, when I found that the site has been hacked!

On further checking, the forum still seems to be there, its just the index page thats been taken over.
Here's the Oolite subforum: http://www.spacesimcentral.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=80.

Maybe you could start a Kickstarter Campaign to found your £4500 pledge. 8)

Hacked by a bunch that apparently have a bone to pick with the UN, Israel, & Nazis.

Something doesn't mesh with that agenda, though. Didn't the Nazis try to exterminate Jews, ie, Israel? And anyway, what the frak does Spacesimcentral have to do with any of that?

The scriptkiddies behind the hack would be better off serving their sociopolitical message upon Neo-Nazi and other hate group sites, and/or the UN site, IMHO.

The only problem with the question "Why" in regards to hacking is that you're assuming that there's a rationale for their choice of sites. There isn't. It's random.
