Bitcointalk.org Hacked
The Bitcoin discussion forum bitcointalk.org was recently hacked and defaced by hackers calling themselves "The Hole Seekers" (h/t Softpedia).
The defacement page showed an unusually creative animated video of rockets and explosions, followed by the statement, "Hello friend, Bitcoin has been seized by the FBI for being illegal. Thanks, bye."
In a post on Reddit, bitcointalk.org admin Theymos warned that it's possible that the hackers may have accessed the forum's database, and that the forum will be down for a while. "At this time I feel that password hashes were probably not compromised, but I can't say for sure," he wrote.
