We're back...again... for now...

[Zane]

Welp, as you have all noticed, we got hit again by the "Nazi Bankers" crew.

 

This time they upped their game and gained access to the forums administrator panel. They used that access to restrict admin access while they sent out thousands of spam emails.

 

We very quickly regained control and stopped the mailings, but not before 3,100 people were sent a message. We find this unacceptable.

 

As far as we can determine, no user data was compromised. These hacktivists were out to make a point, not to destroy data.

 

We spent the downtime reinforcing the forum and implementing countermeasures to hopefully prevent this from happening again.

 

However, we can't rule out that they will try to strike again. We just can't take for granted that this is over.

 

If you are the overly cautious type, we suggest you change your forum password but I would like to stress that there is no evidence that any user data was scraped or compromised.

I'm so happy "GMT" is back online, I was beginning to have withdraw...no GM-Trucks....ahhhhhhh! lol

 

Hopefully the hackers will find another site to hack up from now on, we've got trucks to fix, mod, and gloat about here.

For real!

 

I was starting to get the shakes over here. I mean, what else am I suposed to do at work?

 

Seriously though, what was all that about? I was afraid to click on anything in case it turned out to be sendin viruses or something.

Why did they hit this site? Did someone here piss them off?

Have you always been a Moderator?? I "thought" you were an Administrator as per your user name. Just wondering.

Their mothers did by giving them birth.

 

Admins, why not go through the membership rolls and delete ANYONE with only ONE post in their forum lifespan that's over one year old? Just a suggestion, for what it's worth.

I was a moderator for a long time and then given admin status a few months ago. Looks like I got downgraded?

Temporary/inadvertant change I'd imagine.

Temporary. They exploited administrator accounts last night during the hack. As a precaution, we revoked all administrators except for Josh and I for the time being.
