Oolite Bulletins

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.

Oh dear... that is not good at all!

I have posted about the release of v1.76, here.

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.

We got hacked here last new year's eve... wtf?

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.

Sick, bored little kiddies with the brains of a Man United fan.

Denial is a terrible thing.

Good call.

The index page has been restored btw.
