DaniWeb Has Been Hacked
When I go to DaniWeb all I get is big skull & crossbones, then some g00ns.net. I hope Ms Dani gets this fixed quickly.

Re: DaniWeb Has Been Hacked
Yep, been trying to alert her and blud on IRC just now but no response so far. It looks like a nameserver attack because daniweb.com actually points to a different IP address. IRC still works though, and as you can see, so does PFO.

Re: DaniWeb Has Been Hacked
Why would hackers want to hack into Daniweb?
I mean, it's a discussion forum, why hack into a site that does no harm to anyone? Just curious... >BstrucT
