Sites Powered By ExpressionEngine and Hosted at EngineHosting Were Not Hacked

As some of you know there is a “PR stunt” underway involving a few, mostly Apple related sites. In this stunt, a fake hacker is claiming to have “hacked” these sites in attempt to generate traffic. A few of these sites are powered by ExpressionEngine and hosted with EngineHosting. This has caused a number of people to contact us asking if there are security concerns regarding our products and services.

The answer is no. These claims are completely false, fabrications of an ill-conceived publicity stunt. EllisLab was not notified of this stunt nor were we involved in any way. We’re not linking to anything because we’ll be damned if we give this stunt additional publicity.
