blog.kischuk.com — Ruby On Rails' main site, http://rubyonrails.org appears to have been hacked/hijacked. The URL returns an apparently parked page, and a whois lookup reflects a record changed today and a suspicious registrant email of domainadmin@buydomains.dk.

It's worth noting that automated gem install/update is HOSED until this is fixed. You can still download a gem and install it locally, but that's not the usual usage.

The problem is back. Does somebody know the IP address of the real server?
