Just called up http://spacesimcentral.com/ to see if there was a post about the release of Oolite v1.76, when I found that the site has been hacked!
On further checking, the forum still seems to be here, its just the index page thats been taken over.
Here's the Oolite subforum: http://www.spacesimcentral.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=80 .
We have become popular.
No doubt the it will be sorted out.
Just noticed it myself. I'm sure Darkone will fix it soon.
Just to confirm, the front page has been restored.
What the heck is going on? Do we have a space sim hater out there? Go hack the tax office or something else 🙄
Sorry for the delay in correcting this issue. I made a bit more in-depth post here: http://spacesimcentral.com/?p=614
But I didn't have any internet for the past 4-5 days because I was moving to a new home and learned of the hack this morning from c0mas 🙂 (thanks btw) after checking my email from work. I logged into the ftp and did a search via time stamp on files changed since my move and found new files at root (index.php was changed) which was why the homepage was messed up and then found some in the downloads directory of SSC's file manager.
Guess the hacker did me a service and letting me know of a flaw. I think I have corrected this for now, but in some sick way I feel honored that someone spent the time to hack SSC. I guess we are starting to become a popular community 🙂 As far as I could tell nothing else was effected but the re-routing of the homepage. But please keep your eyes out and if you spot some pages that are messed up please let me know.
I was sorry to see this... the Oolite forum was hacked last new year's eve, by a similar bunch of jerks.
