Indeed. The site that hosts teamleague/stc tournaments on fics has a message saying it's been hacked again. Guess it'll be down a while.

Re: FICS again
Yes - the commercial sites could be behind it, but otherwise I can only guess at two motives - They are boy hackers who need an easy target, or they are career hackers chasing usernames/passwords for exploitation on other sites.
Anyway, does anyone know much about what happened this time ?

1. leren [vc] (learn, larn, acquire) acquire or gain knowledge or skills.
2. leren [v] (teach, learn, instruct) impart skills or knowledge to.
