Users were greeted this time with a four-letter tirade against the site's founder, Michael Arrington. The first hack happened at around 6am GMT yesterday morning, when visitors saw a blank page with a brief message and a link to a site containing links to "adult and pirated material", according to Sophos senior technology consultant Graham Cluley. Later that morning the site posted a brief story about the hack. "At this point we are still gathering information on how the site was compromised, and will update this post with additional information," it said. However, Cluley said in a blog post that the site was compromised again within 24 hours, and that the hackers left another message. "So Arrington, how much did all the media coverage yesterday brought you in trough the welcome.html ad you forced people to? What a f***ing retarded move was that you t***. You should be thanking me and sucking on my f***ing b***sack for not deleting everyone on the box and publishing the mysql, if that's what you want O.K, I can do that," the message read.
