MPR.org Hacked

by rex   ::   posted on Sep. 23, 2005 - 2:00am

Last night around midnight (or maybe earlier), it looks like MPR.org was hacked. The site is back to normal now (2 a.m.), but for a while it looked like this. The culprits -- the Spykids -- are actually a well-known hacker group that are constantly getting into sites.

I had a site hacked by them... if it happens to you, take a look at your perl/cgi server settings.
