Apparently the Burst Media website has been hacked. The ad servers appear to be down, too.

[burstmedia.com...]

Or, if the hacked homepage is no longer available, take a look here:

[antimoon.com...]

I wonder if they upset someone?

Bart's in trouble anyway.

I don't see their adservers down. Haven't skipped a beat for me today.

Their adservers are hosted on linux computers in a data center. Their website on IIS. I highly doubt they were both affected.

I noticed it Wednesday at about 6pm PST. 6 hours later, Bart was still up - I was quite suprised Burst didn't take the server offline by then. The next morning, it was business as usual and the site was back to normal.

" 6 hours later, Bart was still up "

Another testimonial for all the viagra spam that I have been getting lately :)

Geez, as a copywriter, I should have noticed that double meaning before I hit submit!
