theGypsy - in the end it seems it was nothing more than a server hiccup, thus I leave a quote;

Here’s what I was seeing.... http://www.huomah.com/images/mattScreen.jpg My, my.... is no one safe? I know I been there many times... Matt wakes up when? 6hrs from now? ..... MATT WAKE UP!!!Dammit... just can’t yell loud enough....lol....
... but Dave is right as I also had the funky StudFinder post in my reader..... the gremlins are out!!
it was hacked for sure.. matt would never do a review like that lol
@Dave ... but I actually went to the post an hour or two back and MATT had left responses to the comments... time was around 10:30pm ...... so it’s curious.....
Wordpress has serious security issues, even the new version. I’s not even a challenge for advanced blackhats/hackers to have their way with it. Many discussions have been started on several forums about just how vulnerable wordpress is."but I actually went to the post an hour or two back and MATT had left responses to the comments... time was around 10:30pm ...... so it’s curious..... "How do you know it was him?
I do agree, Matt wouldn’t do like this. It’s blog has been hacked...Common Hackers are getting more advanced than we people now a days.Let’s hear what Matt has to say ab’t this

Not at all Mike, just reporting what I see until we know more..... seems prudent, oui?
Definitely looks like someone had his way with Matt. I have to say it again: This is the time for everyone to take hackers and security more seriously. The number of those skilled enough to get into just about everything is growing by the minute. Many times people are wondering why their sites dropped in Google just to find out someone installed a hidden command in the code.Very easy for those with the skills.Today’s news about the White House server being hacked and then this should be a reason for everyone to realize that the reason most of us have not been hacked is not because we have everything tightened up, but we are just not giving them a reason to spend a few minutes doing it.I predict a lot more of that on an even higher scale in the future.But like you guys have said, let’s wait for Matt.
Good news!I see Matt’s blog back again.
Who knows, maybe it was him making that post afterall. But still wordpress has some serious issues which need to be dealt with soon.
This was not a hack !!
genuwine4532"why is Matt reveiwing this BS?"Matt is Gadgets freak, and for him that Stud-4-Sure Finder isn’t a BS at all :-)Take a look at another Gadget that Matt reviewed in the past and you shall understand how Gadgets freak Matt is :-)Suggested schwag: triple-tap AC adapters
I’m thinking it’s legit. Have not read anything about it being bogus and the blog is still sporting the review. I have to say, at first, the review sounded like a spin about a male escort service or something. I about died laughing.
For the record. Here is Matt’s recent comment of today on his blog concerning the current incident of his blog:"Harith, I think my webhost was just flaky for a couple hours; my blog wasn’t hacked or anything like that."And here is what he wrote on my today thread at Sphinn:"Yup, it was just a couple hours of flakiness by my webhost. No hacking involved."
@ankitrawat - I edited your desphinn comment. No need to include personal attacks.
Lol.. R U saying I missed some fun Matt M?Just wrapping this up here by saying it seems to have been a mere server hiccup and NOT anything to do with being hacked - but we needed some fun today tho right? Yeah.... I found this quote; Journalists are like dogs, when ever anything moves they begin to bark. -- Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) German philosopher.
It was not hacked !! it might be because he forget to pay the bill !!
Its not hacked, Matt will enjoy these link bait again :)
