    Oh dear! It looks hacked, but not even well hacked. I hope it's not too difficult for them to fix it.

    Want a real scare? I'm scared that they might have credit card numbers and address info on their servers and the hackers got that.

    The website is still there with all content, all that happened is that the front page was replaced. But, indeed what Jasani says, the possibility that customer information may have gotten stolen is what is really, really scary.

    Apparently the hackers are heavy metal fans - that monster is [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_the_Head"]Eddie[/ame], Iron Maiden's mascot for nearly 30 years.

    I think they actually process credit payment info with Paypal (at least that did mine), so I would think that would be ok, as it would be housed elsewhere.

    Hope its fixed soon!

    well I wont be purchasing anything from there. That is definitely a hacker sign and s/hes marking the site to let people know who s/he is and that she has/had taken control of the information on that site.

    Not secure to buy from there at all.

    ETA; If you should buy something from there, I would suggest doing it via phone or email, email her, and ask for an account not connected to her website to send your personal info to.

    P.S.S I just called her and told her. She had no idea. She also said shes going to be looking into it today. So keep checking back to see if it comes down.

    They have the old frontpage back up (which was the only thing that had been changed). I hope that they take the necessary steps, which may include reinstall software, patch (so that the intruders can't get in again at will), and if there is a chance that personal info could have been compromised, contact those who may be effected.

    Oh my! For some reason it doesn't really show in any of the pictures...but there are built in pink shorts underneath the sheer skirt part.

    Ah...must be the crystals around the bottom of the shorts that account for that price tag. The skirt looks like the end piece of a chiffon sari. Pretty bra, though.
