    Yes, I had noted that earlier. I hope Simon can prevent this from happening to our forum. Surely there must be some measures that can be taken.

    Maybe some brothers at bethel are being trained in the hacking arts. Taking down anti-JW sites is part of their new "theocratic warfare" strategy.

    Kenneson, the message is in Dutch:

    Geachte heer/mevrouw,

    Door een nog onbekende oorzaak is server2.uniserver.nl gehacked waardoor de homepage van deze website was aangepast. Uniserver Internet doet er alles aan om deze schade zo snel mogelijk te herstellen.

    Gebleken is dat de homepage is overschreven door drie files van de hackers. Om de originele website zo snel mogelijk weer online te krijgen heeft Uniserver Systeembeheer de files van de hackers verwijderd en deze tijdelijke tekst geplaatst. Wij hebben voor deze manier gekozen omdat enkel de html files van tientallen klanten gewijzigd zijn. Een backup terugzetten met oudere bestanden zou meer consequenties en daardoor meer handelingen van u vragen dan deze maatregel.

    Honourable sir/madam:

    Due to an unknown reason server2.uniserver.nl was hacked and the homepage was modified (adapted?). Uniserver Internet is doing it's best to repair the damage as quickly as possible. It seems like the homepage was overwritten by three of the hackers' files. In order to get the original website online as quickly as possible Uniserver System Control (Administration?) has removed the hackers' files and placed this temporary text here. We chose this method because some of the HTML files were being viewed from many other hosts (lit. "were being viewed from ten sides at once"). Restoring the files from a previous backup would have had more consequences, therefore we need to confirm with you before doing that.

    ... or something like that This sucks!
