Hi guys,
My forum got hacked a few days ago, have finally managed to get it fixed. The hack involves a malicious code being inserted that redirects users to a different website. its not a virus as such so doesnt really cause any security issue for members computers, but it does do significant damage to incoming traffic. During my research it seems that a lot of forums are being attacked with this particular issue. it took 5 days for us to get this sorted but now i know how to do it its a pretty quick fix.
I've checked the treehouse out and its clean. Navigating directly to treehouse in your browser will work regardless......the hack kicks in if you type gypoclimber into google then click on the resulting listing....this will redirect you to a file2share website. I shall be testing arbtalk religiously over the next few weeks in case they return for a second bite of the cherry, and i recommend butch does the same on a daily basis, however i thought id post this here so you guys could perhaps help out and do the same from time to time.
these hackers really are clever bastards
