This is what the website shows:

It's also worth mentioning that if you used any identical or similar passwords to your RS account for logging into their site, you should change your RS password IMMEDIATELY.

I'd guess IP addresses, any security answers and linked email accounts would be at risk, so a password change is an absolute must.

Stay safe, guys! <3 ~ Mod Drebin

I didn't notice this morning (GMT), before going to home page and seeing a maintenance message few min ago, but not the hacker message.

All seems fixed now ?

Thank you, Sword.

Yes, unfortunately for a couple hours on Friday, November 2, the homepage was changed to hacker's logo.

The breach actually didn't occur on RuneTrack, but rather a clan site hosted on the same server as RuneTrack was infiltrated and the hacker was able to access the file system of RuneTrack from there.

Once I saw what had occurred, I quickly restored everything back to normal and closed the security hole used to infiltrate the clan site. I apologize for any inconvenience caused - it's certainly embarrassing on my part to have this happen, so I've taken steps to ensure it won't happen again.
