Subject: InstallShield site hacked

One of the main purveyors of allegedly secure software installer
technology on the Windows side of things just got "owned" (and
amusingly, the hacker defacement page replaces InstallShield's
installer software download page rather than their homepage).

This may be repaired by the time this is distributed, so I've archived
a screenshot of it here:
