Title: SBG Hacked!
Post by: Tyler on September 18, 2010, 09:36:42 PM
Hey guys, SBG was hacked last night.  Thanks to Marsh and BaldWriterBob I was notified of this and was able to correct it.  Basically they hacked every PHP file to make it redirect to a Malware site.  To be safe, please run your anti-virus and spyware software to make sure you weren't affected! 

Sorry for any inconvenience!!!

Tyler,

Glad to hear a response to my message to you!  I know that my home computer has up to date anti virus and malware software.  But I am hesitant to go to SBG at work as they don't update their software!

Friday night, upon 3 or 4 consecutive attempts to login, I kept getting the "Malicious Activity Detected- Visiting the site may harm your computer" message. I tried to notify Tyler on Facebook, but maybe that message never got through either.
But at least it was caught in time before doing any real damage!

It's a business.
They use automatic scripts to manipulate any website they can get access to.

Personally, I think that why some people do these hack jobs is the feeling of power.  Kind of like..."look at me!  I have the power to f*&k up all these people's computers!".  That may be the way they feel noteworthy.

Yep!  This wasn't personal, just an automated script out of Russia to manipulate the open source software that I use.

Title: Was SBG hacked again on 9/21?
Post by: Noodles on September 21, 2010, 04:53:06 PM
On the morning of 9/21/2010 (around 7am CST), I attempted to log into SBG and kept getting a repeated "Internal Server Error" message.

Thought it might be "Hack #2", or either the SBG site was actively in the repairing stage and that was the reason it would not allow me in.

Anybody else experience the same issue this morning?

Just wondering....

I had one attempt that was slowed down a bit, but other than that all was good (otherwise, I wouldn't be typing now).

The site was hacked again this morning.  I caught it shortly after it happened and I think I've fixed the issue that allowed them to do it in the first place.  Only time will tell.

Well, for me,  when that sort of thing pops up,  it's time to walk away, and come back another day.  No sense trying to log on, trying to make it acknowledge that you are going to get in, no matter what.   You know something is wrong, so let the powers in charge fix the thing, relax, look at the BB/FB/BB/Hockey scores, and come back another day.

A fake Antivirus software message saying your computer is infected and you have to buy a removal tool.

This should no longer be happening on SBG.
