not sure if this should go into the planet component of websites or if someone in serverops can fix this, so leaving here for a serverop-type to decide.

Mozilla Digital Memory Bank has apparently been hacked.

Removed it from the config, nuked its entries from the cache, and forced a planet run to regenerate the site without it...  will update again when it's cleared.

I shot an email to the whois contact for the site to alert them that it's been hacked.

Got mail back from the admin indicating the mess has been cleaned up and they can be added back in.  I figure having reed give the site a once-over before it gets added back in might be a good idea.

I checked it out and looks clean.  Added back.

Thanks Dave for the help.
