No wonder they've been hacked with a out of the box redhat 7.0
Install..., that site's hostname is btw: sms.convidis.de a very nice sms
portal, it delivered my sms to the uk in under 5sec's, someone should
contact them and make them aware of the fact that they' ve been
hacked... http://www.convidis.de if theres trouble with germa I could
probably help out...

cheers steve
