November 2013 Hacking of site alert

[SeaEagleRock8]

Dan reckons Kaspersky can't help because the hackers have grey hats.

 

[Dan]

haha kaspersky will not help. Kaspersky is more of a windows based antivirus tool and will not help with intrusion protection. I may have found the current way that they were able to get in on this site so will fix it now "hopefully"

but it wont stop things when there are further vulnerabilities in the software we use. Kaspersky just isn't designed for that. unfortunately the best protection is to work on closing any holes we find, the issue being these guys skills are far beyond mine and its nigh on impossible to stay one step ahead. At least this time they did not destroy anything.

So the rumour doing the internet that it was the Vatican hacking the forum In direct retaliation of certain posts in the Andrew Webster thread is untrue?

 

[Dan]

There was no point, or aim to the hacking, that is what is frustrating and infuriating

Sounds like pointless vandalism mate

They did do you a favour this time though Dan. Allowed you to find the hole. Thats the job of a hacker I guess.

 

[Dan]

if it were not for these hsckers would we need to worry sbout finding holes?

 

[Budgie]

Sorry this has happened again Dan. You do such a great job. I, for one, would be more than happy to pay a subscription to the site. I love it here.

 

[Dan]

I have added another layer of security and have been scrolling through trying to find any more modified files.
Hopefully we are clean this time

I cannot think about hacking without thinking of young guns "I is just hackin' on ya".

I agree!

Richard Brewer: Rumor has it you killed a man, Billy. You don't seem like the killing sort.

Dirty Steve: Yeah, Billy. What'd you kill him for?

Billy: He was hacking on me.
