As far as I can tell, very few are reporting this so far, so it must have happened in the last few hours. I e-mailed Instapundit, so hopefully he will read it and pass it along.
I went to add some links and found the front page hacked by someone claiming to be a voice for Islam, but probably just a raving anarchist. Here is a screen capture of some of what is there:
I checked pages other than the front page and they appear normal, so if you use an internal page from a bookmark, you might not see that the site is compromised. I for one am NOT going to log in or use the links for the time being. I want to see that the site has been secured before the blogrolls go back up. I suggest you do likewise for security. I will be taking down blogrolls as soon as this is posted.
UPDATE: I see several blogs reporting it now. Many are saying it was "Islamic Jihad" but I don't think so. I think this was probably a pissed off teenager looking to make trouble.
I've been trying to find out what's been going on since this morning and all that comes up when I google it is when they were hacked back in 2003. Finaly someone see's WTF is goin' on! Been reading your stuff via 2nd amendment bloggers for a long time. Keep up the good work.

Do a google blog search for "blogrolling hacked" and you should see quite a few blogs mentioning the current problem - but no useful information. Just lots of "terrorists did it" which is nonsense. Terrorists attack things that make headlines. Blogrolling is a target for angsty nerds, not islamic radicals.

6:26 am EST and blogrolling is still down. I am guessing the hackers used some sort of SQL Injection method.

I got your email, Gully. One of my blogrolls is down but that happens now and then. I've seen a similar "jihad" hack before. Crazy kids probably.

And now the website is gone for good. Thanks and good luck, Blogrolling! Muahahaha!

This is one of the saner posts on this subject.

Gone, but unknown if for good. The owners might simply be repairing it.
Keepin' it sane here, boss...

BTW, I found a good plugin to do the same trick as Blogrolling was doing, for Wordpress. It's called Optimal.
