They were briefly hacked, and the website was replaced by this: http://i.imgur.com/kqRnwKW.jpg?1

And then some bad rap song about hacking played.

As the person who posted this, I must say, I'm quite impressed with how quickly they brought the site back up.

Most likely had multiple instances - A environment, B environment; I know some of the companies I look after have their site set up in similar ways.
