I thought they had recovered from the hack, but Daily Gadget seems inaccessible again.

Found this link via PalmAddicts to keep you informed on the status quo of DG:

Edit: Scrolling down a bit further on PA revealed the following message:

This from Alan at the Daily Gadget today "Sammy, it seems that not only our site was hacked, it was our host as well. They've taken down operations on our server to fix somethings, which means we're going to be down a bit longer than we first thought. We do have FULL BACKUPS of everything, however, so we won't be "starting from scratch" once we get back up and running. Anyway, could you please let your readers know that I am terribly sorry about all of this? I've just felt sick over the entire thing. When a hacker attacks the site, he attacks more than just a collection of gadget posts and reviews, he attacks a community...he attacks all of us. I'm sorry the community has to go through this. Thanks for your assistance."
