Yes the page was Hacked but it looks like the Web master for Altavista has
fixed the trouble.

Anyone confirm that Altavista's home page was hacked today ?
About
10:30 am EST I went there and found their "usual home page" included
in a page that said hello to some hackers and had some small message
about the page being hacked. When I got back to checking it at 15:00
EST that page was gone and the "usual Altavista home page" had
returned.
