Apparently there was about 40 sites hacked yesterday. Someone I'm doing stuff for, and Digital point are two examples of those sites. Anyone else get your site hacked yesterday?

Not sure, he told me it was hit by the hackers yesterday night. I was alerted by him about his site being hacked 10 hours a go, but I was in bed by that time.

Edit: DP has a database error right now, perhaps because of the hacker?

DP seems to be fine now. I can't seem to find any notices regarding the DB error.

As soon as it was back, the same offender posted like 2000 threads in the introduction forum which brought it down again :S

Haha, I'm sorry I just had to laugh at that :P

I feel sorry for the mods/admins (If they bother coming online) that have to clean that up!

Showthread doesn't seem to work :S

This has got to be a vB exploit doesn't it?

I believe they were cleaning up the crap from the first attack when he struck again. See screenshots in the SP link above.
