The Burning Man server was compromised via a security hole in the ePlaya system on Nov 26th. As if that weren't enough, after a good deal of time was spent running forensics on the system and removing any traces that the intruders had left, the machine then suffered hardware failure. Services were finally restored at approximately 7:30 p.m. Pacific Time on Nov 27th.
