Restoring this blog post because I had it right all along. A hack is clearly a hack when you take the time to look at the details. Don't be sheeple or ass-kissers.

Wikia is either experiencing a "bug", or they've gotten hacked.

This lovely graphic appears at the top of every wiki page on every wikia, except user pages:

Is this a bug? It's not impossible. But I find that highly unlikely because 1) It's been around now for over a day 2) The element appears to be forcefully injected into the pages. It uses absolute positioning so it doesn't need to be part of the proper layout to jam itself at the top of pages 3) It uses inline CSS, rather than referencing a stylesheet. If this was a bug, then the element would be Wikia-made, and wouldn't use inline CSS at all. All of MediaWiki uses stylesheets, as they help organize and simplify code, **and** act as a crude security measure. It's easier for a hacker to throw in an element with inline CSS than find and modify a stylesheet. So seeing a wad of inline is a major red flag. 4) Chinese characters. Wikia is American, right? Why would they be working with a Chinese banner in the first place? 5) It's crudely made. It pulls from a few of each wiki's theme colors, but the overall styling is horrible. It doesn't look like it fits. If Wikia made it, they'd made it look like it fits. (or maybe not, we all know how the top nav bar was when it first got introduced)

That's just my 2 bits as a programmer, who knows what's going on here.
