After wondering why I have not received any updates from whitedust.net over the last few days, I went to check on the site. Upon arrival, I found this:

With the industry and those in it so seemingly hostile to Whitedust, and
pure apathy from anyone who thinks otherwise. Why bother. This site is
now closed permanently. It's staff have abandoned the scene and the industry
for real world projects - for good, you won't be seeing us again. You "Won".
Good luck out there. You'll need it.
-The Staff
There is pretty scant information out there, but in response to a post at InfoSecPodcast, a reference was made to the ZF03 ezine, where there is a slew of childish personal attacks culminating in a detailed blow by blow of a whitedust hack. There's also some detail at the wikipedia page.
This pisses me off no end. Whitedust was always a good source of general sec news, and with the revamp was providing some very useful overviews. I particularly liked their intros, and realistically, subscribing to whitedust saved me from having to track 1000 other feeds. I'm not sure what needs to be done, or even how to contact these two to get things back on track.
