A victim of war

Chizumatic friend Sixten has had his blog hacked by someone who claims to be a "palisenian". Presumably our brave freedom fighter counts this as a major victory in his war against the Juice.

Why, exactly, Sixten should be a victim in this war isn't clear. Last time I checked, Sixten was of Korean descent and lived in Seattle. (Did he secretly enlist in the Juice Defense Fierces?)

But, I guess, brave Palisenians must take their victories where they can find them, the dumbasses. They sure are brave, ain't they?

UPDATE: In comments, J points out that visiting Sixten's site while its content is under hostile control is probably not very safe. For the moment it doesn't seem to do anything bad, but those who broke in before could do so again and make it try to do nasty things.

UPDATE: 20090207.2300 and he seems to be trying to fix it. That's good to see.

UPDATE 20090208.0745: I just heard from him. Looks like it's a total loss, and he's created a new blog from scratch. That's really unfortunate. (I recommended that he talk to his hosting service to see if they can restore his site from backups.)

He also says he's from the Philippines, not from Korea. (My mistake.)

1 You should mention that it's still hacked, and that clicking the link is a bad idea, due to possible malware. It doesn't look like there's any in this case (just links to streaming audio of Arabic music and some Javascript from a Chinese site that doesn't exist), but there's no reason to trust them...

2 The admin of one of the gun related forums I go to has pretty much banned any traffic from Russia , Eastern Europe, all of Africa except S. Africa and most Asian sites because there have been so many spam and hack attempts from those locations recently.

3 There have been times when I've given serious consideration to blocking all of China in my firewall, because of all the unmannerly crawlers from there which have hammered my server on occasion.

4 The only time Ani-nouto was breached, the attack came from China (SQL injection into the search box).
