Server breach [Resolved]
« on: September 20, 2018, 12:05:27 am »
I discovered a security breach that involved spam redirects inserted onto every page. For everyone's protection I disabled the site until I found out what had happened. Most likely, the security breach was caused by vulnerabilitie(s) in a wordpress site hosted by this server, which has now been permanently disabled. It appears that as a result of the intrusion, files under the webspace were modified to include the spam-redirect code. All of these files have been restored; there is no evidence of any other files being modified or of anyone's information being accessed, or of root access to the server being gained. In all likelihood the intrusion was automated by a bot, which ran a script that injected the spam and moved on to other targets.

I do recommend, though, that everyone clear their cookies.

You may upload replays from when the site was down.
