WrongPlanet was down for hours. No statement has yet been released. John Bird reporting for Channel 4 News Live. John Fortune reporting for Channel 5 News Late Edition.

This does appear to be correct.

Sir George Parr has been questioned, but the chances of him knowing anything (ever) are considered extremely low.

Yes and Neurolands as well. I wonder if it was the same group who did it?

Yeah, I remember that. I think that's a Muslim symbol, if I'm not mistaken. It sucks that a hackers' group would use a religious symbol to represent itself. It only gives a bad reputation to a religion that's already getting a lot of heat in the media.

I'm officially giving a "What the f**k?" about all this hacking. Why the f**k hack communities for aspergers and autistics? Can we please have some aspie or autie who is obsessed with computer programming and hacking please kick their ass?

The problem is that phpBB is one of the most popular forum engines and therefore attracts the most attention from the black hats. A lot of non-autism sites I visit are searching for alternatives because they're tired of getting broken into all the time.

Yeah, but their sites are still down. They should hire me to fix it since I'm so fast, especially considering the fact that I was still asleep when it got hacked. I was actually asleep while I was fixing it, but that's ok.
