cogadh: Something has changed. Now when you go to the website, it tries to force you to download something called "index.exe".

hmm? I'm not getting any data at all, as if somebody had replaced the index with a blank file (which doesn't seem that unlikely given the circumstances)
Edit: just checked the headers and it seems to be an error 500 Internal Server Error. Appropriate.

It just gives me a page with the words "under maintenance" on it. no sneaky download or anything.

I'm getting that now too, but an hour ago it was definitely prompting me to download something (which I obviously did not do).

Haven't seen that with other hacks from this guy. Could be somebody piggybacking on the original hack.

That would seem very likely.

rmaertin: I'm guided by a signal in the heavens,
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin,
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons,
First we take Interplay, then we take Vienna ;)
Doesn't rhyme anymore :(

Got the history reference, but am I missing something else?

Hmmm, now its a more than slightly dated "Coming Soon" page, featuring pictures of Earthworm Jim, MDK and two game references I don't recognize... looks like someone is finally addressing the issue.

Hehe... okay, I'll give you a little insight into how my mind worked at that time.
I read the story and thought something along the lines of "Onoes! The turks got Interplay!" I immediately thought of the siege of Vienna. God knows why. The Cohen song was fresh in my mind, the association was made. As I cannot really hold back on half-baked pop-culture references, I just had to post it.

hehe
I looked at the source of the HTML and noticed that the pictures was located at /images
Now if you go here you can see the rest of the images and maybe get an idea of what's in store for us
I've had a look around and it seems that they are making an online store thingy. (they didn't have this before, did they?)
