Well at 1:29 p.m. today, I noticed that:
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/
Has been hacked by:
Cy60rg
Only this subdomain section has been hacked and here is a screenshot:
UPDATE: DigitalPoint was quick to recover and has restored their forums! Right now rumor is that Shawn played it as an April Fools joke!
Now DigitalPoint Forums is probably the biggest webmaster and SEO forum there is. It must have been extremely difficult for a hacker to access their forums and hack it. We do not have enough information to start assuming that they have deleted all the files, especially since DigitalPoint should be making backups anyway!
We don’t know who exactly hacked DigitalPoint, especially since they make numerous enemies a day by banning users. Either way, it seems that hackers are getting smarter by the day!
DigitalPoint Forums has numerous topics sub-categories for a wide array of users to post in and makes over $10,000 a month by displaying Google Advertisements throughout their website.
We will post an update when DigitalPoint has been restored. Please note that only the forums section has been hacked so far!

I think its more like an april fools joke than a hack ;-), i noticed it also. I saved the picture of the woman falling down into the basement :)) when you arrive on the so called “digitalpoint hacked page” i find it hilarious,

Yeah, it is pretty funny.:) But Shawn doesn’t act as if it was an April Fool’s Joke or anything!
