What happened, exactly?  Not sure I can see how it's been hacked from that link.

Looks like  some kind of network weirdness. We have our T1 line for our work computers and we have some DSL wireless for our customers and I can get to photobucket just fine on the WIFI..... Odd.

Oh yeah, those guys are notorious for DNS "hackery" that isn't so much a hack as it's an exploit of nameserver configuration. At least, that's my guess - which is why some people can see it and others can't. Some name server between Torso and Photobucket got the hack while others didn't, which explains why not everyone gets the hacked page.

Ha! Thats funny. I was just talking to a Microsoft instructor today about DNS hacking. I can't believe it isn't done more often.
