The board was down for less than 2 hours. That's amazingly fast compared to the last couple of times this happened.

I wouldn't say "quite often" but it has happened at least a couple of times in recent memory. Given some of the grousing the members are doing about changes made by the new management, the timing of this attack is very bad for that board.

Folks on this forum may not be aware that TGT was just sold and migrated to a new server. The new management has run some scripts to make boilerplate changes to the forum. I sincerely hope the vulnerability that was exploited is new and not a result of an oversight during their migration and updating. That would be, well, not exactly unforgiveable but hardly confidence-inspiring.

For non-members and the curious, so you won't have to visit the site, this is what shows at TGT right now:



To respond to the OP, yes, it's been seen before. TGT was hacked and vandalized some time back and was offline for weeks. For those of us for whom TGT is as close as we get to "social media", it was an irritating interlude.
