Can anyone else access RichardDawkins.net forum atm? Whenever I try I get the message:

Quote
Not Found

The requested URL /forum/index.php was not found on this server.

What prompted me to check was an email I got that said:

So the forum cannot be accessed and apparently an administrator sent me an email with an invite to a warez site?!

Maybe the forum has been hacked?

Yes, the forum has been hacked. Here's a message Peter Harrison posted on one of RD.net's offshoots....

Stay out. It's being taken care of. Some people are getting redirected to warez site, others are getting fake RD.Net phishing for details. I'll drop a message here when it is safe to go back.

Just delete any e-mails claiming to be from RD's admin at the moment.

It can happen to anyone. phpBB's main site was hacked not that long ago.
