MacRumorsLive Hacked
Our MacRumorsLive keynote coverage was hacked today, inserting inappropriate content into the text and photo feeds. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to restore our services. The hack appears to be limited to the MacRumorsLive servers so forum accounts should be safe.
We'll continue Macworld Expo coverage on an ongoing basis this week, and will report on Apple's announcements shortly.

Hi all,
This thread was getting out of hand, so I closed it down.
The MacRumorsLive feed was compromised as described. The cause of the security breach is best described as "user error" due to admin files being inadvertently mirrored across multiple server instances with incorrect permissions. This allowed php code to be displayed rather than executed, which was clearly a "bad thing". Our actual admin panel is password protected, of course.
This is just a live and learn event, we'll try not to make the same mistake next time.
