Site Hack

Did anyone else see a hack this morning when they tried to access XMarks?
I would see the site start to load and then a flash to a pro Syria page.
It happened for me about 8:15am Eastern all seems to be working fine now.

Saw it about 15 minutes before you did (heard it before I saw it actually and wondered which tab I had open had music playing) and emailed the webmaster and Steve. The WM got it fixed amazingly fast, so I guess the site's data wasn't compromised, just the initial link was redirected.

Yes, there was a minor hack that redirected people to a pro-Syria page. It has been corrected and we are figuring out how they did it so we can prevent a recurrence.

I got it too. Every time I tried to get the site. It came with a warning, so I immediately backed off. Glad to know what it was and not solely in my computer.
