Yes, we were under attack! One Turkish ‘friend’ hacked Tube5800.com blog few hours back. He pasted his lovely messages in Turkish language on the homepage as you can see in the screenshot below. The blog was down for few hours due to the hacking attempt. Our web team attacked back and everything is back to normal now.
We guess this was a deliberate and well planned attempt to bring the blog down. Tube5800.com blog has got lot of popularity in just a few days and we were close to 100k hits a day at the time of attack.
Thanks to your continued support, we are getting rave reviews in other blogs and online communities for our latest updates, news, reviews, comparisons, videos and podcasts about Nokia 5800 Tube. Recent popularity has lead to other unwelcomed intrusion attempts on the site. We wish to assure that we are very vigilant on this matter now and have taken more secure measures in place to further prevent this issue.
Our loyal visitors and subscribers should not be concerned about the recent intrusion. We will keep bringing the cutting edge news and updates about Nokia Tube 5800. Your suggestions and feedbacks regarding which features you may want to discuss or see in the Tube5800.com blog are greatly appreciated and strongly encouraged.
Keep enjoying!!

Hi.
Just a translate, the Turkish text in the hacked page means:
There are big security holes on your system or hosting. For your attention!
Sorry for bad English.
