    Seems normal for me, can click around, seems entirely functional. Adding a query parameter to the URL changes nothing. This suggests it's not a cache. Perhaps there is a server rotation (by client IP) and only one such server was hacked.

For those who aren't seeing the hack, this is what it looks like for me: https://kek.gg/i/3FSNmg.png https://kek.gg/i/3FSNmg.png

Looks pretty hacked to me!

There are so many different kinds of hacks that I feel the title should say "defaced" rather than "hacked".

This was inevitable, they made themselves the enemy of every single corrupt state.

Well, http://wikileaks.fdn.fr/ http://wikileaks.fdn.fr/ is up with apparently authentic content. From https://www.iplocation.net/ https://www.iplocation.net/ I get 181.215.237.148 for wikileaks.org, and then from https://ipinfo.io/181.215.237.148 https://ipinfo.io/181.215.237.148 I see Secured Servers LLC in Oklahoma City. I'm guessing that's new. Maybe it's that the wikileaks.org domain has been hijacked. Or maybe it's just DNS poisoning.

This looks like a typical DNS cache poisoning attack[1], which takes advantage of insecure DNS caching servers. Users of those caching servers will be sent to the wrong IP, so it is a successful attack of sorts. But there isn't much the target website can do to prevent it.
