Mussey1 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Can anyone tell me why we are getting a weird message if try to logon to the welcome screen. goto www.fordgalaxy.org.uk and see what happens!! has the site been hacked into?? Mussey1. Quote
Masked Marauder Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 It certainly looks like it has. Quote
Mussey1 Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Posted March 10, 2006 Tt appears to be a message in spanish, something about african elephants and victory to the IRA. Funnily enough I also recieved my 1st pshishing email last nite, pretending to be from paypal. I hope the two are not connected. These guys may have our email addresses etc, so it would be wise to keep alert. Mussey1. Quote
Masked Marauder Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 It is Portuguese and makes reference to the love of five elephants with small yellow balls and wanting a Citroen Picasso..... Quote
Mussey1 Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Posted March 10, 2006 So what do you think?? Is it a security breach??? Mussey1. Quote
Masked Marauder Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Wihtout a shadow of a doubt, but how deep they got is another matter, it may have just been an exploit that they used to change the front page. Quote
mumof4 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Ah,i see it now.i usually log on via my faves. Quote
Guest Cepheus Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Things like this are usually as a result of people hacking the hosting server and changing all web pages called "index" to their page. The webmaster of this site needs to contact the hosting company and get them to restore the backup index page of this site. Quote

I'll try contacting the hosting company myself, but doubt they'll do anything unless its the registered admin for the domain contacting them. B) Edited March 11, 2006 by Gteuk Quote

bigdaddy Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 doa2 Posted on Mar 10 2006, 23:30:45 POSTING THE SITE ADMINS PERSONAL DETAILS MAY NOT BE CLEVER MOVE! Got to agree with that,,,,,,,,,maybe that part of the post should be deleted B) And anyway this is not our site,,,it belongs to 2 other chaps,,,,,, Quote
mumof4 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 yup..i agree...we get loads of peeps on here as "guests"..you just never know!! :ph34r: Quote
Guest Cepheus Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Post edited Like you said though, it's in the public domain anyway so I don't see the harm. Was just trying to help the site out by using my web design knowledge. By looking at Kevins previous posts from years ago, looks like he moved to France anyway. The other Admin on the site is GTEUK who last posted on this site: Gteuk Posted: Jul 29 2004, 02:00 PM Unfortunatley, due to the software used to run this forum I can't find out whether either of them have logged on recently, but like MO4 said, when you try and email them, they come back as undeliverable. If this is the case, and the admins no longer look after the site, then it will only last until 14th October 2007 when the domain name expires. Nobody but the registrant can re-register it and it will take somebody else at least 12 months after this date to be able to register it in their name. Even then, whoever takes over the name won't have access to the same server that hosts the site and all the forums will be lost. It was for this reason that I posted the info on the forum incase anybody knew the person in question. If we can't track them down then we only have 18 months left! :ph34r: :lol: Quote
mumof4 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 ruddy ell....all the info lost!!!! youd think that if they set up this forum they would at least look after it What can we do??? Quote
Gteuk Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Sorry guys been very busy, the exploit is that of Push technology, it is used by dimwits trying to say they are hackers, anybody with half a brain can deface a site but its getting the data from the site that is more impressive lol, Be assured no data has been removed from the site and I have renamed the home page accordingly, the loop lies in me allowing uploads on most sections of the site and therefore certain right permisions being allowed, I have now made all the files read only. so you may experience some errors when uploading. Not posted or been on for a while as been very very busy. Kevin is around but has a manic lifestyle so has not been able to attend the site much, but at least we keep the site up and running as we are aware many of you are attached to it :ph34r: Quote
Gteuk Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 ruddy ell....all the info lost!!!! youd think that if they set up this forum they would at least look after it What can we do??? LOL just because I am not around does not mean I will close the sites down, it is true that I spend 1,000 times less time on them but they are up and running with no additional costs to the end users now that has to be value for money :ph34r: :lol: Quote
bigdaddy Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Well what do you know,,,,,,,,,,,,everybody moaning about no ADMIN on this site,,,,,,,and guess what,,,,,,bang ,,, he pops in,, shuts you all up :D :D :D Gteuk your the best :lol: :) :) :D P.S ,,,,,, i am only having a laugh :D :D :ph34r: Quote
