At a minimum they had some hacked web UI mayhem going on along with at least 1 admin account compromised...now they are in an at least partially down state. Might be worth alerting the Powers That Be to see if they want to offer assistance and if any measures should be taken to protect servers federated with it.

On another post they showed it was stealing browser cookies, so your login information for any site you're logged into could be compromised. Definitely not a prank

So how does that effect a deleted account?
