So yesterday late at night someone hacked the front page of the site and replaced it with what you see above. None of the other areas of the site were affected, and the database wasn't touched at all. All I had to do was spend one minute reuploading the necessary files, and everything was back to normal. I also Googled the hacker's alias and discovered that he previously hacked the Bangladesh version of Google back in January. Looks like he's targeting low-profile websites now.

Oh well, shit happens. Good thing it was a relatively easy fix and nothing really damaging was done.

I just received an update from InmotionHosting, and they said that it was a widespread issue that many websites hosted on their servers had experienced.

They are patching it up right now.
