Re: Hacked
It appears that this site is very cleancut and is lacking 3rd party apps (less the Google Gadget app, but I doubt there is a security problem in that). I looked at the source code, and everything looks HTML and Javascript.

Then I found forum.punahourobotics.org
It appears that they have the latest version of Simple Machines.

But I got to thinking, doesn't Simple Machines use MySQL, and PHP? That must mean that there is a MySQL server running on box188.bluehost.com, and perhaps this is the security hole. Check your MySQL version and patches, make sure it's all up to date.

What's odd is that a hacker would put this much effort into splashing a robotics team's website. Seems like it would be a fairly low-target kind of domain to hit.
