Title: Web Site Attact
Post by: lovebus (jack) on July 04, 2009, 08:47:29 PM
As you can see Our website is back to the bare bones. Somehow someone (vw) gained access to the sites control panel through a modification that was made to the message forums and tried to use it for Spamming.  

Luckily, the technicians at the server caught it right away and did not delete our whole website like they did about 3-1/2 years ago, they just deleted every modification I have made to the forums over the last 3 years.

I spent about four hours going back and forth with them this morning trying to get things worked out so they would not to suspend the site, and another couple of hours checking folders on the server to make sure all permissions were correct before they would give us a clean bill of health.

I will start working on modifications again but only a very few, this is the last time I'm going through this.

So if you had trouble with the site early this morning, thats why.
