Geno Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hi, does anyone log in to this web-page? I just came back from vacation and can't get in. Are they down or is this web-page discontinued? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Looks like they're having some server or hosting problems. Try again later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucker301 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I wonder if that means that my username and password were also compromised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdkidaho Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Hmm... yeah, that could suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I called the tech handle for the site and left a message, but no reply. I guess he's busy trying to put the thing back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdkidaho Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Response from their staff when I asked if our accounts were safe: Added by Shotgunworld: You're passwords are safe. The code was 'injected' into server by a security flaw in an old script. The good news is that everything is now updated and patched, so we're much less vulnerable to hackers than two weeks ago.

tucker301 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 You're passwords are safe. With Engrish skills like that, you have to feel good about the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
