After joining the RTB, Free Speech News was hacked. Free Speech News suspects, from its logs, that the hackers originated from the US military.
Quite frightening if true.
Update: Free Speech News apologizes to the military and states they know who did it.

We were hacked sometime between 4 AM – 7 AM this morning. The hacker took over the administrative access and deleted our accounts.
I first suspected the military because my other logs shown that they visited the website at that time and different government angencies had been visiting our website in unusual numbers.
I checked the main website logs and tracked it to a person in Australia who uses the same website hosting as Free Speech News. I will not seek legal action against this person, but recommend that the web site host shuts down his/her site and his/her ISP refuses service to that person.
We are looking into how the person got access.
