Issues With The Site Today

[Kevin]

Hi All,

We seem to have had a hacker among us today. Two account that registered today quickly posted and then some one hacked the site and tried to mess with visitors.

All pages have been sanitised and are all clear, I would suggest that ALL members run a virus scan now to play it safe.

Thanks,

Kevin

Chilibill,

Not detecting any viruses is a GOOD thing! Happy to hear you are in the clear. We haven't been on the board all day, so are just learning of the "events" of the day, but are running a virus scan right now.

If you collect IP addresses report them to their ISP. What they did is illegal and the ISP will take action.

This is something the Duke wouldn't have had to worry about in his day.

Just think about it saying viruses on the internet would draw a blank stair from someone in the '70's.

It would be nice if we could somehow reach through the vail of cyberspace and wring their %$*&@#^ chicken necks.

Just 5 minutes with them and a ball bat would solve the problem.
