SvAF/F16_Goblin Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Hi mates, I just noticed that ATAG forums have been hacked and there is a possibility of malicious code trying to get on your systems. Any one who knows an e-mail to ATAG please let them know!
FlatSpinMan Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 That sucks. Hopefully they have good back ups and can be up and running again soon. Of all the sites you could hack, why do people do it to enthusiast flight sim sites?
=AVG=Zombie Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 What did you see that led you to believe the site was hacked?
Alesia Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 That sucks. Hopefully they have good back ups and can be up and running again soon. Of all the sites you could hack, why do people do it to enthusiast flight sim sites? It's an easy target is all. And what was said above, what tipped you off?
SvAF/F16_Goblin Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 When I went to the forums earlier another page came up with an obnoctius dancing something and a text stating that "this site was hacked by bla bla bla" and extremely loud music! They have fixed it now, quick work from ATAG :D
71st_AH_Hooves Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Hacking sites is riduculous. Glad they got their page back up. Though I'm not a huge fan of their group. I would never condon taking info down on any site. People should be free to make informed decisions about where they hang out and get that info. I hope they get a trace on that hacker.
=BKHZ=Furbs Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Its prob nothing to do with flight simming, some idiots just look for a target they think they can get into.
BFsSmurfy Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Battle-Fields forum was hacked about a week ago, not sure how much stuff we lost but our server fella had to spend a great deal of time getting it all up again.
71st_AH_Hooves Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) LOL I was told that I was "spreading hate" about ATAG in this post, by a certain "winner" on these forums, I thought I was being quite civil lol. So let me clarify. I personally don't frequent ATAG. But hacking/deleting their free speech and hard work is WRONG. Dont know how that is "spreading hate" Edited October 4, 2013 by Hooves
Jason_Williams Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I don't know what happened here, but it's over. This thread is no longer necessary. Jason 1
