I just went to problgger.net and found this. I tried loggin in earlier but it was down. Now, the site looks like this. The image on left is problogger's usual site whereas the image on the right is what shows right now. See images below.

      Looks like the theme got changed. Whether that was a result of hacking or just an update gone wrong, it's too early to tell.

        Hi Dan,

        I reckon he noticed that the kubrick theme was so popular, he decided to give it a try (just kidding)

          I upload my theme the same time as WordPress, so as soon as I get my Admin password, the default theme is gone! ;-)

          My thinking is that if his custom theme got messed up, he might have reverted to the default until the theme gets fixed. Then again, you would expect he would have had a back-up...

          UPDATE: In the comments, he mentions they are doing a server migration. That's why the Kubrick theme may be showing up for some people.
