Anyone know? I can't get either site to load. On the brewing network I just get a white screen with this error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /homepages/23/d222793841/htdocs/index.php on line 96
With beerdujour I get nothing. It's like it doesn't even exist. Anyone know what's wrong?
 
I'm not sure about the sites, but the BN iphone app only works about 25% of the time. It's been down for a few days for me.
 
this isn't even with a smartphone or anything. I'm using Firefox on a laptop with Windows Vista. I searched around here and google and couldn't find any info
 
oh cool they're both back now

EDIT: hmm, except for some reason firefox is telling me the brewing network is an attack site. I wonder if they got hit by hackers?

Yup.. I can't even log into it.
 
I tried that, Ugly... I ignore, click "login" and it cycles me back to the warning page without logging me in.

I still get the notification. Here's more info on it:

And this was JUST posted at TBN's Facebook:

The BN site has been hacked (ugh). We are working on it right now. Thanks for your patience and please avoid the site for now. We will post updates here to let you know when it's back

Yeah, I'd say that someone is tweaked over the club of the year thing. Most brewers being Software/Electrical/Mechanical engineers and techno geeks this would be right up their alley. It's a shame as I was at the NHC and was hoping to listen to the BN podcasts at work tonight.
 
I'd bet it had nothing to do with a brewer being moody and everything to do with a hacker hitting a vulnerable site. Nothing more, nothing less.
