Title: Popupexplorer problems??
Post by: Flacamper on Feb 29, 2004, 02:13 PM
Has anyone tried to log on to popupexplorer?  When I did, Hackerland.com came up and said it hacked the site or something:mad:

I just went there and got a site not found.

I know Dean had been posting that he was having problems with his host and corrupted log files.

I don't know about them getting hacked, but they've had problems with their server recently.

It's slowly comming back up.  I was just able to get to the homepage, but the forums are still down.

It's back; here is what Dean had to say:

QuoteLooks like PUX main web site got hacked which affected Both the PUX and HYX main sites, and forums only. I have restored the main site files and have changed all the login and encryptions information across all of my sites (just in case) I don't think the database was affected, or at least the data looks like it's in good shape. If anyone sees antying that is lingering from the hack, let me know so I can fix it.

I got a note back a few weeks ago from Dean saying that there was a new address or something, but I don't remember any details (wasn't important at that moment).

This latest one was a hack job, but it only took them down for a few hours. Took down both PUX & Hyx. They were back online in only 2-3 of hours. Hackers tried to hi-jack the site, sending visitors to another site. Didn't last long at all before Dno pulled the plug! Apparently the hackers had some kind of Turkish Connection.....(we hope it was not Birol...) :Z
 
Quote from Dno...
QuoteAccording to the hosting provider it was a Turkish group and they hit several sites they host. I had a couple of calls letting me know it was hacked within a few minutes of the event.

Was just joking, thought the Turkish connection was kind of interesting though!
