    Well, that was unexpected

    I wonder if it was temporary or if our hosting site fixed it?

    I fixed it. Sorry about that everyone. Someone managed to get access to the hosting account itself and then run an automated script which replaced all of the pages on the site with that black page. I'm changing the passwords now so that should be just a one time thing.

    I'm actually pleased. Apparently we were noticeable enough to be hacked. I FEEL SO SPECIAL!

    Haha I think it was just a brute force password hack targeting vbulletin forums actually, so we weren't probably specifically targeted.

    I can easily hack you again. I know the new password already, try again. PM so I can send you details on where to send me money to keep your site.

    I know it was probably a pain for you yezir, but I did laugh when I saw it :lol: It was just so out of nowhere it caught me off guard. Like YOTN said, at least we are getting noticed.

    Did the hacking come with sound? I just saw it on my BB.

    I have my volume off unless I'm watching porn so I didn't notice anything.

    I use wireless headphones and they weren't turned on, so same. I had no idea there was sound.

    I did run a very exhaustive disk and virus check just to be on the safe side. If anyone else hasn't, please do. Cached files stay forever unless you're careful. You never know.
    If history tells us anything, the path to redeption for any bad baseball team is marked with a deep rotation of durable starters, a world class defense in both infield and outfield, a lineup that can generate runs in more than one way, a bullpen that won't steal defeat from the jaws of victory, and a top end catcher to hold the whole package together. These are the conditions by which victory is achieved, anything that does not accomplish these objectives is a waste of resources.

    Sorry about that guys lool. It was me, as you know it said 'hacked by deneo24', and as you can see I made myself super mod, nothing to do with being on the admins account. Your site has a lot of vulnerabilities that I'd notice, and not even kidding I only learnt how to deface sites 3 days ago. I probably won't do it again as I felt like a bit of a dick, but if you ban me I will. Gratz on getting the site back up so quick though!

    But luckily if you do decide to ban my IP I have been using a VPN :P

    I've seen all your comments though and the hacking done isn't what you're all saying, nothing to do with bruteforce, nothing to do with virus's, nothing at all to do with any kind of information stealing..
