I have seen that page many times on servers we own, their good at doing what they do.

Although it creates havoc for the end party e.g. SuSe, also their noisy hackers, they don't bother about clearing logs after them, so your left with lots of proof for the relevant agencies and law enforcement establishments

You have to see the irony of a Linux website being hacked.

Looks like it's back to normal.
I Googled it and it looks like opensuse let it's employees set up a gaming server on it's servers, and they didn't secure it.

Although that was from a few days ago and this one may be a separate hack.
