Has anyone else noticed a high volume of Australian Forums being hacked in the last week?

Ozhonda, Fordxr6turbo, Evolutionoz all have been breached that I know off. I'm sure there are more.

Whats going on? Are they all on the same server or the same hosting company???

This has been discussed on Whirlpool.

The majority affected from what I read yesterday were hosted by Crazy Domains (or one if it's off-shoots) but there was also some reports of issues with CrucialP.

At this stage it's believed to be a server related issue (they were speculating on a php exploit) and not related to specific CMS exploits (ie Joomla, Drupal, etc) or forum packages....
