Und? Dann wurde die Site halt gehacked. Allem Anschein war es ja ein lieper Hacker der nix kaputt gemacht hat, nur mal gezeigt das da ne Lücke is die es zu schließen gilt. Wird sich zeigen was das genau war, falls die Orga da ein Statement zu abgibt(was sie tun sollte).

Oh, hey guys. How is everybody?

First of all, my German kinda sucks, so let me do this in English.

Sorry for taking the Wacken site out of air. I'm a Wacken fan myself, already got my ticket here and looking forward to the festival, just like the rest of you. However, there is some very large security leak in the site, which could be used by malicious hackers quite easily to screw up this site permanently. Even the backups are open to everybody due to this leak, so I thought it would be quite bad if that leak remained open.

That's why I redirected the site to that image, and I hope an admin will send me a mail soon so I can explain what should be fixed.

Greetings,
De Gris.

Your intensions were good, but maybe an Admin will send the police to fuck you up;)

@Hail & Grill
Well, thank you :)

@EvilJay
I guess they have to find me first then. It might not have occured to you yet, but somebody being able to take a site like this offline might be able to cover his tracks as well.

Would have been a big problem to send them a mail without hacking the page, hm?:p
