If this was just someone logging in as the open admin / admin account and changing things, why not delete these posts as it's misleading? 

People react badly to the word 'Hacked'.

No offence to original poster.

The online demo site cant actually be hacked as it is properly secured.

What is happening is that as people test the features they modifiy things and this can affect the layout of the site.  They can even set the otehr included core template as the default. 

The only changes that can be made to the demo site are to the database. 
And every 60 mins the database is emptied and restored.


So in short the site was NOT hacked
