    I was going to read an article in the WordPress codex, but for some reason it wouldn’t load. When I got to the official sites homepage it’s highly unusually looking and has nothing to do with WordPress. Is it just me or is WOrdpress.org being hacked?

    Where do you see that they’ve been hacked? Matt Mullenweg is a co-founder of WordPress.

    Still having the issue, very strange. It’s the only page I have trouble with, and a virus scan gave nothing. :/

    I’m aware, I was just thinking since noone else seems to experience the problem it might be a virus on my computer. I’ll try to clear my cache.

    Looks the same in both Firefox and Chrome. That should mean it’s probably a virus, but why only one target page and why WordPress.org?
