Sometime this afternoon (sorry, didn't notice the exact time) the forum became unreachable for me. There was no error messages, just a white screen that hung indefinitely.
I cleared my cookies, but what was a little more worrying when I tried to access the forum via the link from a search engine was the fact I was being re-directed to a 'Security compromised - You've been hacked screen'. The words 'You've been hacked' were made up of x's that were cleverly spaced across the screen to spell out the message.
I ran some virus scans but found nothing. Reddit was behaving unusually around the same time, but that was stuck in a loop that said I needed to log in, but on doing so I was told I was already logged in. A little digging showed several have encountered this over the years, so probably not connected with the problems here.
I used a couple of 'Is it down?' website for here at the time, and they both said the place was up and running.
Anyone else have any issues today?
