Progressive Web hosting service hacked to death

UPDATE #2: SoapBlox seems to be backing off its announcement of its own demise, though the site's communicator, who posts under the handle "pacified", still doesn't seem to know quite what to do in the face of the Big Hack. He's apparently scrubbed this earlier post from his homepage:

SoapBlox is dead.All these hackers messing with our stuff, and we here at SoapBlox have no clue what to do. We don't have enough knowledge, time, money, or care to fix it.

So I hope the Hackers are happy.

If you want the data from your blog, we will get it. But we are not going to try and restore anything.

Consider this the "We're Out of Business" post.

UPDATE #1: Pam's House Blend is back up; no further word on the fate of SoapBlox. Blue Jersey still down, as is Swing State Project.

Just received word that SoapBlox, a Web-hosting service that caters to progressive sites, has been hacked so severely that it is reported to be dead, leaving a number of sites wondering how they might recover their files -- the content of their sites. Among these sites, sadly, is the wonderful Pam's House Blend , and Stoller's Open Left. While Open Left is part of the SoapBlox community, it appears to be untouched by the hacking.
