Approximately around 10:45 PM Pacific Standard Time, Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) website was being hacked by GNAA (http://www.gnaa.us/)

Another Fellow WordPress Blogger actually got a screenshot of the hacked Wikipedia main page.

Wikipedia was actually fixing the page while it was being hacked.

In the meantime, GNAA posts a press release that somewhat explain the reason behind Wikipedia hack.

The hack was a retalication against Wikipedia for GNAA article deletion.

At first glance, it seemed that it was merely a change made on the frontpage. But such changes could not be found in the page history. It is unknown if Wikipedia administrators/moderators could selectively delete the page history.
