Che palle :D

Riporto la notizia per intero (perchè potrebbero cambiare la home page):

"Last updated: 7th February 2005, 15:50 GMT

At present www.phpbb.com is offline due to a group of politically
motivated hackers wishing to use an opensource project to push their
agenda ... shame on them.

I will take this opportunity to note that given currently available
information this hacking episode does not appear to be due to phpBB
itself. Instead a third party application looks to have been the
problem. Other sites were attacked at the same time as www.phpbb.com by
the same group displaying the same information and in these cases the
same third party application has been suggested as the common factor
(thus far). Equally we are not aware of any other phpBB boards being
attacked and we have not been notified of any valid security issues
recently. Obviously we will have more details when we've reviewed just
what happened.

Please do not ask us for updates as to the situation, its cause, etc. We
are not holding anything back, we simply cannot comment at this time
without having further information ourselves. Just as soon as we have a
clearer picture, which depending on the condition of our server may be
impossible to obtain, we will update the community. At present our
#phpbb support channel is being swamped with "What happened? Any news?"
style questions which are making it extremely difficult to support users
with real issues.

We are working to recover the server. At best we may be back online
Tuesday 8th February but more likely later that week. Meanwhile users
can visit our development board, area51.phpbb.com where they can receive
support for phpBB 2.0.x. Of course you can also view the next version of
phpBB, 3.0 "Olympus" in the process (minus the new style of course!)

We are also maintaining our IRC support channel, #phpbb on the
irc.freenode.net network

We apologise for any problems this may cause our userbase. We obviously
take the huge support our community gives phpBB very seriously. And we
will do our best to return to "normal operations" just as soon as we
can.
