TechCrunch Officially Hacked


Popular technology blog Techcrunch has been hacked and is currently down with all but a message noting that the site has indeed been compromised.
The blog has experienced frequent downtime of late but as have other blogs who host on Rackspace including, Mashable and The Inquisitr – we fortunately aren’t (we’re with Slicehost, owned by Rackspace interestingly enough).
This case appears different however with other blogs remaining live and Techcrunch admitting they had been targeted with a message that reads:

Earlier tonight techcrunch.com was compromised by a security exploit.
We’re working to identify the exploit and will bring the site back online shortly.
Earlier, presumably when the initial hack took place, text with a link to a rapid share download site was posted:
TechCrunch officially hacked.
Oddly enough, sister blog CrunchGear is running smoothly, which indicates that TechCrunch in particular rather than its network was targeted.
The irony here of course, as it would be for us, is TechCrunch is a reliable source for information on site downtime.
More info over at Inquisitr and and Technologizer.
Update:
TechCrunch is now back up, interestingly all comments gone. Stay tuned for more info as to what happened.
Update 2:
A statement now on the blog reads:
“As some people noticed, at approximately 10:30 pm PST on Monday evening the main site in the TechCrunch Network – techcrunch.com – was hacked and redirected. The site was back up briefly at 11:30 pm but shortly went down again. As of 2:00 am, the site is back up and appears to be stable.
At this point we’re still gathering information on how the site was compromised, and will update this post with additional information.”

Samsung Galaxy: Another Android Blasts Off

  IT'S getting harder and harder to keep up with all the latest Android mobile phone launches. They are like buses. You wait ages for one, and then about six come along at once. Hot on the heels of the Sony Ericsson X10, LG's first in the GW620, HTC and its Legend and Desire plus Samsung's own Galaxy Portal now comes this beauty. Again it's a Samsung. Again it's a Galaxy but this is codenamed the S and we've no idea why. It's hardly catchy.

Sensasi sepertinya belum juga pupus dari diri dan model kepemimpinan Gubernur Aceh Irwandi Yusuf. Bayangkan, di tengah berbagai kritik tiga tahun “kegagalan” pemerintahannya, Dosen Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan Universitas Syiah Kuala ini, kembali mengeluarkan pernyataan yang membuat sebagian pendukungnya berdecak kagum. “Hanya dua hal yang saya minta pada rakyat Aceh. Lain saya berikan semuanya. Pertama, jangan gugat hobi saya menyetir mobil. Kedua, saya dicandukan untuk menyukai perempuan yang cantik, itu canduan dan saya punya istri cantik. Cuma dua hal itu yang saya minta.
