looks like 3rd party service was hacked, other non poker sites are also affected.

Looks like the Free Syrian Army Hackers group to me based on the last logo.

No money left in poker, hacking independent poker news sites confirmed profitable.

The Syrian Electronic Army seems to be going after many different media outlets.

It seems they somehow used a site called gigya.com to gain access to godaddys servers and to the affected sites from there.

See-through yellow is probably not the best choice when trying to hide stuff in a screenshot.

The hacked entity was Gigya, the social login provider which has its IT division in Israel. Gigya services PokerNews among others (like Forbes, Independent, etc.) Things are reported to be under control and no serious damage inflicted.
