Athas.org hacked?

First Post
Was Athas.org hacked? Nothing comes up there except a message in big letters saying "it works".

Now, working in the web industry, I know that there are massive numbers of SQL injection attacks going on right now....is that what's happened?

Or has the site been taken down/retired due to 4E? Anyone know?

Looks fine to me, I just accessed it.

Very odd....I just checked a moment ago, and it's still down.

I can see from your sig that you're also in Ontario, as am I, though we're likely with different ISPs.

I'm wondering if by any chance my connection is taking a different route, and going through a DNS server that's been hijacked via the DNS poisoning vulnerability that was in the news last week, or if it's some other, completely unrelated issue.

Still down for me...

The odd thing is that even Google's cache shows the wrong site for me.

I'll try it from a different connection tonight, and see if it's in any way related to my ISP.

Very, very odd....

I've gone home, checked from there, and I still get "It works". I've checked Google's cache, and I get the same thing. Finally, I contacted a friend who's getting the same thing when he goes there from his computer. He's never been to the site before, so it's not in his cache.

I also tried it from www.htmlblock.co.uk which is supposed to resolve directly from the DNS and it's getting the same problem.

I guess I should just ask, from anyone who can actually see it.....any big updates in the last two months?
