hard-light.net looks fine, it's just the forums.
Checked on both Chrome and Firefox (win 7)

On a related note, I approve of the maintenance notices.

[Zacam]

Okay. So, official news is: We had of a bit of an issue where we got compromised in an non-delightful manner.

That's been resolved, and while we were at it, we did a much needed upgrade to the forum software as well.

I can't say for certain whether or not the current condition of the nav bars was a result of the compromise or the upgrade, but it seems to be purely CSS cosmetic related and should hopefully be sorted out soon enough. I put a NEWS notice up regarding it, but at the moment, no ETA that I can give as I don't normally deal with that.

I feel bad leaving it for Sandwich to deal with, but the clean up and getting the forums back online (in addition to tracking out how it happened in the first place) took WAY too long as it was.

Crizza reported on IRC that trying to recover login info will redirect to a real attack page. Sound the alerts!

[Rodo]

well ****. I think I just bought it

changing password.

[Crybertrance]

What does "recove login info" mean? If it means trying to login again after the update....then ****....

Also, 70% of all the smileys are displaying as broken images.

[The E]

It means using the "I have lost my password, please reset" thingie after a failed login.

[Flipside]

According to Avira, the problem is in a Javascript asset called sleight.js

The name of the script does not inspire confidence

Whew...

BTW, which godless noob pulled of a stunt like this? Carl needs to have a word with him...

[MP-Ryan]

Zacam, have you any indication that the site actually started distributing malware when it was compromised?

Why can't we have HLP look like it used to before all these "updates"? Each iteration of the interface is worse than the previous one, and this is just plain horrible. It'd be easier to list things that aren't wrong with it, which coincidentally is everything that hasn't changed from the old theme. In short, I hate it.
EDIT: It seems that it's being slowly changed back. Good.

Srsly? Did you even bother to read the last several posts of the thread? I'm thinking you didn't, otherwise you would know what's going on and wouldn't just complain for no good reason.

AVG Scanner isn't reporting anything, just firefox gave the random warning.
