Everyone:

When I typed wrongplanet's URL in, so that I could access it from my active browser window, it said, "hacked by keyy! Simple!" I am very lucky I saved all my replies to messages I had posted in my inbox, because I cannot get on any other way. Does anyone know how this problem could have happened?

I saw it too. Don't have any clue what that's about.

Looks like somebody's tried to SQL inject the site...

For those who don't know, an SQL inject is where a person uses fields in a form on a site like this one to attain superuser access. A person has tried this and got in and changed the topic, by the sound of it.

Hi

I know, it's over now, but wasn't that bizarre?

It was bizarre (and not very effective). :| Grrr, script kiddies...

You got it, Dunc, and to make matters more unusual, I could still access the site from my posted replies.
