In ordering SF's 2008 Catalogues, I decided to head over to PK's site (PK-e.com) and rather than the normal page I was greeted by a Turkish Flag and the following text

Is PK (Or anyone else who maintains / has the responsibility of keeping the site up) Know about this / Is anything being done?
The most recent Google Cache of the site (28th of April 2008) shows it to be fine. I'm not sure when this occurred
(FYI, The group that did this is a "Script Kiddie" group which generally defaces sites for the fun of it. Sometimes due to a link to the site being in a post that they found offensive to the individual(s) religious believes etc, They usually brute force attack the server via FTP (Port 21) and then upload there page and delete the existing contents. In some cases it is a good idea to contact the hosting provider to ensure that the server / account has not been compromised as well as to notify them of the intrusion to there network / data centre)
[Edit 2: Using the Google Cached Pages I verified that all the Photos, Videos and other pages are still on the server. They've just replaced the "index.html" file See: http://www.pk-e.com/SS2008-size15.html]
[Edit 3: The other site, KylaKim.com (Which I'm guessing is for his daughter.) Has also been defaced by the same hackers.]
