cyber steve OFFLINE Owner Posts: 846 Thank you received: 50 Karma: 9	I'm sure many of you know we were hacked again this morning, around 4am. I think a lot of sites were as I have been on hold for tech support for an hour. BUT luckily I managed to restore our site from a backup I made yesterday. I hope all is functional here but if you see problems PM me with details. Thanks.

This actually wasn't a hack of us in particular, they hacked the host itself at the highest level and modified every site that uses them. Pretty huge, took me over an hour just to get someone in tech support on the phone this morning. I still have a number of other sites they have not restored yet but fortunately I make a backup of horseshoes every day so I was able to clean off the site and reinstall it myself this morning. I have no idea why people get off on this kind of stuff, it is the online equivelant of graffiti or vandelism. Makes them feel important for a moment instead of what they are the rest of the time, which is pathetic.

Ronald Aalders I doubt it Ron unless I've changed something unknowingly. First I've heard of this issue:confused:, are others having a similar problem? What happens after the first log in attempt, does it say it was incorrect or just asks you to enter it again?

cyber steve OFFLINE Owner Posts: 846 Thank you received: 50 Karma: 9	Kim/Ron, I logged out and logged back in first try so then I logged out and cleared cache and cookies and still logged back in first try. Then I tried it on my phone's browser, which I never use since Tapatalk, but same thing (logged back in first try). So I can't seem to duplicate it, sorry. Steve

It told me I had succesfully logged in and then redirected me to the login where all my details were blank. I did push the remember me button last time, so that was the cure I guess. Ronald Aalders
