ActionScript.org and RobertPenner.com hacked!

January 13, 2004 burakk

Just heard (via FlashGuru) that one of the best Flash resource sites out there, ActionScript.org was hacked. It’s refreshing to hear that they will be back up soon and had a backup.

The funny (or not so funny) thing is that they were hacked by ‘neo-Livemotion Militia’.

Guy Watson, FlashGuru, says ‘What is this world coming to? Do we have a Flash MX 2004 Militia? Nope, didnt think so.’

Dave Emberton at ActionScript.com has a post about this too.

Also RobertPenner.com, home of Robert Penner, author of ‘Robert Penner’s Programming Macromedia Flash MX’ and famous ‘Easing Equations’, a well known guru in Flash world seems hacked, by some ‘Zarro hacker’…

Update (January 16, 2004):

I received a few emails asking for how it looked lke when RobertPenner.com was hacked. Here’s a screenshot:

Update (January 28, 2004):

FlashGroup.co.uk was hacked! (more info at actionscript.com). I’m glad their database is intact.
