Today was probably the day that got Simbin the most attention in the gaming world yet as the company announced their first XBOX 360 console game.
Seems like the news attracted some bad crowd as Simbin’s website appears to be hacked. The frontpage content is pretty much gone and the site sports some weird images and an ICQ prompt. Too bad that some people use their skills for useless tasks like that….

Children. I never understood this sort of thing. It is sad that some kids are so insecure that they resort to crap like this to get attention. Get a life! Or get laid.

seeing it is a russian tag..
nothing will be done other than SimBin ( or the site its hosted on ) are now aware of a flaw and will be better at patching the server in the future to be more secure in the future. Hacking does actually provide a value when viewed like this.
What you should all be thankfull for is that this “looks” like a random attack against a known flaw ( obviously in the News function of the site ). If it had been a dedicated hack targeting SimBin purposefull you would see something personal in the defacement directed toward SimBin.
