Thanks for the support chaps, it is appreciated.
SE-NSE was attacked at around 02.41 GMT today. The hacker took control of one of the admin accounts, and use it to delete the others. The forum was then made to redirect to another website. The attacker changed the name of the admin account to ZimElite.
Apparently this ZimElite fellow has attacked a number of other sites, which you can see if you google 'Hacked by Zim' or 'ZimElite'.
We have regained control, and are currently in the process of undoing the damage.

Good luck,hope it comes back online soon.
I think this time you really need to build more security in to prevent future attacks.

Thanks, we hope to be back up and running relatively soon.
We are looking at ways to make the site more secure. As far as I am aware hasn't attacked a mobile related site before, although I could be wrong.

My own website has been hacked several times.
Finally we moved to Joomla and SMF.

Wow!
I hope not too much damage was done. If all he did was delete some admin accounts then it sounds like some attention-seeking on his behalf rather than malicious damage.
