aMobileME was hacked earlier this morning. All data were destroyed including backups, which were located on a separate server. We’re in the process of piecing together all the key articles. Please accept my apologies for any inconveniences.

Ouch - very sorry to hear that bud. I hope you’re back up and running soon. It looks like someone wasn’t very happy with your recent posting of the Apple phone leaked images. Any ideas who’s behind the attack?

What a grinch … so sorry to hear this, best of luck.

Sounds like Apple Legal got hold of you and this was the most face-saving wasy you could take down the information without it looking like a cease-and-desist order. If you came clean and confirmed it was Apple who insisted the information was taken down then the details of the iPhone would be all but confirmed of course.
Tough break regardless, and if its just a case of genuine hacking (cough cough) then that would be a shame.

looks like a first-class PR stunt to me. there’s no demonstrated attack, and there’s no reason to believe pictures existed here in the first place - why wasn’t there immediately a story on digg about the pictures? in fact, why was the only headline on any news site related to this “macmobile weblog” the fact that it was hacked. besides, how the hell would they remove the images from the “separate server.” show some proof or get out of the news: (on digg) marked as inaccurate.
