Hi.
I’ve only been to one launch and only lurk here. As someone who used to own and
operate a web hosting company, I strongly advise against ignoring the problem
because it might “make things worse”. They pretty much the absolute worse thing
you can do.
I would shut that server down now. Change all passwords and start a security
audit until the hole is found. It could be an issue outside of the server,
such as an admin using the same password as other services or an admin’s
personal computer compromised. Don’t ignore and hope for the best.
Best regards,
Bradley Pearce

Brian,
The site is only hacked for users of hand-held devices, maybe
only Android users. If you check in through a standard desk-top or lap-top,
everything is fine.
It would be nice to have it fixed, but how to proceed? If
the person who originally hacked the site were to wait several months for the
malodorous results of his or her villainy to stink the place up, and then
come in and offer to fix it, and in the process compromise the internet
security of every single person on this list, that would be a bad thing.
What I and every one else on this list would like to do is not make things
worse than they already are.
