geez u guys are wacko.... simply crazy..... devote so much time to
inventing invisible enemies. I'm just a guy posting what is
obvious. If you think I'm an xBiz shill then it just shows you are
paranoid.

I don't work for xBiz and have not been in communication with
them at all.

It's just simple.....

It's the weekend, best time to hijack I'm sure.

The server gets pounded into submission. (I'm sure xBiz DDoS'd
their own box just to upload a new index. pfft)

A page appears which is updated by a script which thus stops the
box owners putting up any kind of page of their own as it will be
replaced by the hackers script.

The backdoor for this script has probably been hidden by log
killers, is probably some kind of binary hack and could be
extremely difficult to find.

I'm pretty sure xBiz don't have the resources to simply switch to
a pre-existing backup server.

None of you have any idea just how hard it would be to restore
this site. No matter how good the backups are it'll still take a
great deal of work to get back to how it was.

This restoration work can not even start until the backdoor is
found and closed. Which could be a huge job for even a very
talented admin.

Think for a second rather than just switching to disgruntled
mode. xBiz is a webmaster resource not a fortune100. What
makes you think they have a team of admins watching their box
24/7 and an office full of people on Sunday escapes me.
