When a site is reported as 'hacked', am I alone in not wanting to visit it for a look-see? Aren't the same people who deface sites likely to try fresh browser compromises against rubberneckers?
I doubt quality folks such as the one's participating here at HN would ever post a link to a site, even a defaced one, that would potentially harm anyone visiting it. </circlejerk>

That seems like a decent security precaution.
However, since astalavista was the site in question, you will probably be safer to visit after the hack.
