IDNETTERS hacked?

Can you access it? I received this message

Hacked By Brunei - Where is Security...

Anyone know whats going on?

Yes IDNetters has been hacked, the forum backup is being transferred to another server. Hopefully back online later today.

Same here Thanks Steve

Same here. It will probably be offline for a while whilst Rik and the boys repair the damage and make sure the web pages aren't infected with viruses

Been down a while. First i was getting "unable to connect to server" then I got the Apache 2 test page (not good) then it turned to the Brunei page.
the Orange Bikes site was also showing the Brunei page when I checked at 6.30 this morning.

Good question though. Where is the security?

As has been said, our shared server has been hacked, all sites on it are down, only IDNetters is showing the banner.

IDNet are working to restore the sites on a new server. I would expect to lose everything after 6am yesterday.

We'd advise all Windows users to do a thorough virus scan of their machines if they've visited the forum.

When we are back up, we'll post here. Once we are running again, I would urge all forum members to change their passwords.

Bad news, but at least no financial info stored there.

I did post last night that I thought that things were getting sluggish. PC-Pals on same server off as well.

JB.

Are PC-pals on the same server? If I try and go there I get a redirect to idnetters.

In reply to a post by alien8ed:

Are PC-pals on the same server?

As indicated in my post above, I believe so.

Thanks, we posted at just about the same time.
