It was probably just an easy target through an old hole.

Normally all that happens is the hackers change the front page and it takes the admin going in to bring the old one back. Nothing spectacular

I stopped going there several months back when the forums were hacked and a virus download inserted onto their server. I don't know why they are having so much trouble with hackers.

The Powerswitch forum is back up:

They're discussing their withdrawal symptoms. :-D

I suppose post peak will be a lot like being hacked.
