For those who are wondering, the server has been rebooted a few times today to implement security fixes to our little home.

One of the servers managed by voxtreme (the company I'm using currently) was breached by a hacker early yesterday in reflection to the war. All sites on that server had their front page changed to reflect religious views with comments from the hacker(s).

Because of this, their team has done the investigation and patched all of their servers of this exploit. Supposedly the patch requires a reboot. They will not say what the compromise was due to fear of exploiting the issue.

Just wanted to let everyone know.
