i think here is the answer for my question..

realitychecknetwork.com (were phun org. is hosted) was hacked


"We are writing this letter to inform you that a very targeted
malicious attack took place on our network this morning at 6AM EST.
As a result, most of our server operating systems have been corrupted
resulting in the current downtime. However, we have access to all
backups and have already figured out a strategy for bringing your
servers back up, and have all hands on deck working to restore
service. We will continue sending progress updates, and will be
notifying you personally once your service is restored. We would like
to thank everyone for being so understanding and patient as we work to
bring everything back to normal. "

Latest Update:
" We've been working on finalizing the restore process and automating it with scripts so that we can get the servers online as rapidly as possible. We are creating work queues and assigning servers to them therefore we will be able to provide a more concrete ETA for restores shortly.

We are also in the process of finalizing agreements that will allow us to increase manpower significantly as well as provide a stable infrastructure when the servers are restored.

In terms of the damage to the servers it was corruption of the MBR and initial sectors on the hard drive. For customers with large attached storage devices your content should be unaffected as it was not part of the primary RAID configuration. ShareNXS

As for the intrusion it was the result of an ex-employee who was with us for three years as a result he had intimate knowledge of our systems which is why the effects are so large.

We have made significant progress on the backend and we feel that we are reaching a point where the recovery process can begin ramping up full force. We will be sending another update soon, and thanks again to everyone for the outpouring of support - we're working as hard and smart as we can to get everyone back online. "

^ he is certainly right! the most strict site i have ever seen. but now their site is still down. how sad

[sitonb10]

I do believe that "www.PHUN.ORG" is officially GONE! If you look them up on Google they are no longer listed by themselves. Yes there are a couple of listings of old forum pages but NO official site listing.PLUS, according to all the web domains the "www.PHUN.org" address "No Longer Exists"
DAMN I am so VERY sorry to see it go. I was on that site religiously everyday!

if you try to put in http://forum.phun.org/forumdisplay you are directed to http://www.sizzlingcamgirls.com/exec/login and it reads on that page "Page not found!
Sorry, it seems that the page you were looking for doesn’t exist anymore.
You will probably find the information you need by using the menu at the top of this page or by following one of these links:"

UPDATE! Just found this Tuesday October 19th 2010!

Hello everybody...

As I'm sure you already noticed, we're experiencing some major, major, major server problems since Saturday (10/16/2010) morning. Some hacker was able to get access to the whole network of our hoster and basically fucked-up each and every single server they were managing - which are over 1000. Therefore we had to switch to a new hoster and that's no quick process.
I was finally able to switch the DNS and point it to this temporary page - where I will keep you updated and also post our daily links (hopefully) starting from Tuesday (10/19/2010). The new hoster told me it is going to take around 48 hours to bring back the old page. But I think it might take even a bit longer...we will see.
Thank you every much for your patience and understanding.
