 Hacked
Damn, my server was hacked. A vulnerability in the awstats log analysis program. Just announced last week, but not very widely, so I had no clue. Anyway, the result was that every file named index on the server got replaced with a graffiti page from some Brazilian hackers. Big pain. There are 7455 index pages on my server. Anyway, hole closed, and the most important ones restored. But if you have a website here, you better check it out.

And I can see in Google that lots of other sites suffered the same fate. This is what the page said:
SIMIENS CREW

Enquanto Houver Fome Guerra Morte Simiens Existirá!

irc.gigachat.net #simiens

Greetz: #un-root #commandt #h4ck3rsbr #asc #infektion and all friends!

Well, I'm not one of those, I can tell you that.
