Muxtape mucked up: who hacked it?
Muxtape, the popular online mixtape service we wrote about earlier this year, appears to have been hacked today. Every song on every Muxtape has been replaced by, "Aim (with Stephen Jones) - Good Disease [Babybird does a Prince thing]." Users can't delete the track from their mixes, and (in our professional opinions) the song isn't even very good. An update was just posted to the Muxtape blog.

We are investigating and will have more information soon. I've taken the site down temporarily as a precaution. Thanks for your understanding, watch this space for an update."
UPDATE: Muxtape is now saying that this may have been a result of a database problem and not any kind of breakin, but the cause is still undetermined. The site should be back up by tomorrow, and everyone's mixes were probably backed up and should be restored.

stupid hackers didn't know what song to put up, Rick Astley would've been the funnier choice.
