Anyone else been having issues with this forum this week? Earlier in the week it look like it had been compromised or hijacked - normal shortcut would either fail or jump to some weird overseas site (not Katana related). Now some of the links don't appear to be working. Anyone else experienced anything like this?
Forum Issues?
- Thread starter muddy
- Start date
Yes same issues.
Sorry guys, yes, been having issues alright! As best as I can tell, the forum itself is all good and untouched, but some fun adventurous person is able to jump in redirect the forum to some other dodgy site.
I've been going to and fro with our provider's support team for the last couple of weeks to try to get a resolution to this. At the moment, all I can do is watch it like a hawk and get rid of the redirection when it gets done again. I've reset all the passwords to our account etc. but it still keeps happening, so I'm assuming it's a vulnerability on the hosting server itself. The provider has been trying for over a week to apply security patches apparently... I'd like to know why they aren't patching continuously!
Anyway, I just found a way to hopefully block all traffic from our friends in China and Russia, as from my analysis of logs it seems that's where all the dodgy traffic comes from.
If anything in the forum itself seems awry, please let me know ASAP and I'll check it out.
