Sorry for the delay in correcting this issue. I made a bit more in-depth post here: http://spacesimcentral.com/?p=614But I didn't have any internet for the past 4-5 days because I was moving to a new home and learned of the hack this morning from c0mas

(thanks btw) after checking my email from work. I logged into the ftp and did a search via time stamp on files changed since my move and found new files at root (index.php was changed) which was why the homepage was messed up and then found some in the downloads directory of SSC's file manager.Guess the hacker did me a service and letting me know of a flaw. I think I have corrected this for now, but in some sick way I feel honored that someone spent the time to hack SSC. I guess we are starting to become a popular community

As far as I could tell nothing else was effected but the re-routing of the homepage. But please keep your eyes out and if you spot some pages that are messed up please let me know.

I was sorry to see this... the Oolite forum was hacked last new year's eve, by a similar bunch of jerks.
