DVInfo.net hacked.

I just tried to get onto DVInfo.net this afternoon and was met with a rude message saying the site had been hacked. It was working fine earlier today. How rude!

Laurence,
I just tried it. Can get to the home page OK, but not to any of the usual fora I visit. I get a 403 (forbidden access) message. Hmmmm....

I have my bookmark set to the forums so maybe that is all that is hacked.

Probably right. Anything under /conf/ throws a 403 error. Maybe they're in the process of restoring access - I don't get any hacked message.

Here's coverage of the incident. Pretty fast work IMHO:
