A couple of months ago, there was indeed an incident related to phishing support on the LinuxCNC.org web site. It was not obvious to regular users of the site because it was just acting as the mule to host the phishing content, not linked to it in any way.
A weakness in the older version of Joomla content managment allowed the hack to happen. The phishing content was removed and no one using the site in the intended manner ever noticed. There have now been additional incidents and the hosting company took the precaution of turning the site off. The site maintainers are aware, and are in the process of trying to update the Joomla install and restore the content.
