    This is on their site under Paradise Cafe

    We are now closely monitoring all IP activity and working closely with the legal representatives of our hosting provider, as well as the local authorities to track down the perpetrators of the recent series of malicious attacks and site defacing. All web logs have been turned over for investigative purposes, minus actual member listings. We have also been informed that because the criminal likely resides outside the server location, federal authorities will be contacted, per statutory requirements. We are looking forward to pursuing this matter to its legal end for the sake of the brothers and sisters who participate at this site, but are prohibited from discussing the investigation further.

    Sounds like that new worm that exploits a hole in phpBB.

    It was dependent on Google, and they are blocking it, so it is probably not going to spread as quickly now. But as I understand it, it was overwriting files, so the sites will need to get rid of it, then restore from backups.
