Pretty much as title says. Avoid for the time being, since who know what kind of scripts might be running there.

There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

Yes. A WHOIS lookup shows that the Lexicanum domain is registered by Lauro Vela of BoLS Interactive LLC.

Welp - there goes a whole bunch of my work down the drain...
That said, Lex *should* have back-ups of one form or another owing to the fact that it keeps records of each and every revision to an article since it's creation. Whether or not these revisions are stored separately to the article itself I don't know - lets hope they are.

BOLS is back up, although the forums and other stuff is still inoperative. Lexicanum is still wiped as far as I can tell.

That really sucks for those who put the time and effort into both sites. I may rib BOLS occasionally as my favorite site for slightly stale click bait news but no one deserves to have their hard work held for ranson (both the owners and the contributors) and I use both sites as occasional resources.

Also don't forget that some hackers treat it like a job; hack enough sites and hold them to ransom and hope that one or two pay out to get their data restored.
Other people just want to do it because its the internet and its rather like pulling wings of flies - its not "real" and no one that matters is harmed.
Others might have had a falling out with the mods and instead of slinking off to another site got all riled up and decided to take out justice by hacking.
There's loads of reasons why. It's sad that it happens, but good that the site is restored and data hasn't been lost.

They are on the web, so they obviously (to a hacker's mind) are there to make money.
Unless the sites are kept patched and protected quickly enough after every exploit is found, they are a back-door into the datacentre or server farm they are hosted on. That is the main aim of a lot of these attacks, not the site they hack, but the juicy databases behind them.

So they're back up, but is there any "official" indication the sites are secure and back under the control of the owners?

Hmm, were both sites run off of Wordpress? I know BOLS was, or at least their Gamewire site was. I was running my sites all off of Wordpress for a while, and I would get hack attempts all the time. So many sites use it, so I think there's lots of bots and hackers that target wordpress sites.
