Admin Alex Posted December 10, 2008 Admin Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hi everyone sorry the site has been down today, someone thought they would be clever and hack my server. All users details, passwords etc are entirely safe and weren't compromised. They hacked my server and replaced a few files which brought the site down but there was no access to any of the databases. Anyway after a lot of work it's all back up and running! Ahmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Alex Posted December 10, 2008 Author Admin Share Posted December 10, 2008 It was really frustrating, I was running a training course in Essex and got a text from a friend to say the site had been hacked! Couldn't do anything until I got home :-( Oh well at least it was only a couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas up - Let's Go! Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sad bastards with small cocks should be kept well away from computers...... I couldn't condon that - it keeps me in a job. if you find who did it give me their ip. Ahem,,, Don't want to get all sanctimonious, but that makes you no better than them - and it contravenes the computer missus act, unless you just want to block out thier address from your PC, of course you do - don't you ? Alex - they will no doubt have another go, I was a member of a site that had to hide away due to the constant attacks, it's now limping along with a few die hard users... You should consider increaseing the security of the server now, I don't know what it is - and this certainly isn't the place to discuss it, or what you have in front of it by way of NAT, DMZ, Statefull Inspection etc - but another attack will happen, especially when the attackers see that they are getting a response from the site users. My opinion, it's over qualified kids/geeks pitting thier wits agains you, it is very unlikely that they are after any data, and in any case there should be nothing on the server that isn't available in the public domain. Proffesionally speaking. Personally, these people need re-guided, they ahve brilliant minds and if they turned it to good use there is no end to what could be achieved, otherwise chops thier fingers off!

Admin Alex Posted December 12, 2008 Author Admin Share Posted December 12, 2008 It's the second time in nearly 8 years the server has been hacked, so not too worried about it. More a pain than anything else, can't belive the hassle these guys will go through just to put a page up with their name to appear on other websites! I can understand hacking bank and government details but owners clubs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
