Admin Member Registered: 11/20/03 Posts: 337 Loc: Global	We were hacked earlier today - you may have noticed that you were bombarded by popus etc. for "spy-shredder.com" instead of being able to see the forums. Hackers often gain access to websites through Front Page Extensions which are often (as was the case here) turned "on" by default on the server. I would recommend that everyone check to make sure that Front Page extensions are "off" on your server and manually remove all of the files to prevent your own website from being hacked.

Admin Member Registered: 11/20/03 Posts: 337 Loc: Global	Sorry it took me so long to discover - I hadn't checked the forums this morning as I was busy with other things. It was not a good time to be hacked $\:\)$ A member emailed me about it and once I found out there was a problem it only took 10 minutes to fix.

Chris Member Registered: 04/09/07 Posts: 210 Loc: CA	HAS AOREIC BEEN HACKED AGAIN TODAY? I get virus detection warnings every time I click on a link or forum message. Is there a separate email address to alert the admin about possible hacking?

Blaine Member Registered: 08/14/07 Posts: 80 Loc: Anderson SC 29625	Chris, I had the same problem this morning. Was surfing around on the forums this morning and got some anti-spyware message, and got rerouted to a some dang download page. It only happed once, and no harm was done. I hope the problem was fixed. _________________________ Thank you for your time, Blaine Wimberly "Oh, by the way.
