Call of the Game got hacked

This may be of interest to broadcasters only.

I usually check Call of the Game about once a week to try to keep up with what is going on in the minor league broadcasting community.

For the last few days, it hasn't been where it was supposed to be. This morning, the following message titled We Sincerely Apologize was posted at the URL.
CalloftheGame has been maliciously hacked, and, at least for the time being, we will not be able to provide you with our services.

We are not computer gurus. We're simply two broadcasters who've tried to create a central meeting point for this great network of sports broadcasting professionals. That being said, we've invested the time we can spare from pursuing our own careers to CalloftheGame, but our lack of high-tech computer security savvy has outstripped our passion for this site within the ever-evolving online world.

We would love for this site to continue in some way. We are exploring many different options (one of which you'll see to the right), and we hope that this episode will end with the best possible conclusion.

Sincerely,

Jim Tocco and Joe Block
Co-Founders, CalloftheGame.com

The "Off to the right" option mentioned above is the domain name being up for sale.

The weird thing is that right before the site went down, Jim and Joe were looking for someone to handle the computer side of things.
