Website hacked! - Let me know if you spot any problems

Post by Smithy »

The website (not forum) was compromised, I have removed the issue but made a clumsy mess in the process as I was rushing (so I could see to the baby) rather than being methodical. Let me know if anyone spots anything that isn't working now.

We've had the same problems on the TEOC site a couple of times. Also my website was hacked and virtually all the data was lost. A lot of the time it's to redirect people to scam sites or pornographic cover sites (which are artfully disguised scam sites as well). There's a lot of money to be made if you have no scruples. Sadly I do so I'll never be rich :S
