That is a real shame. I've seen that happen before at other boards and it's an incredible incovenience to get your board up and going again. You would think that people had better things to do with their creative time. Very sad.

What really amazes me, is that these cyber-nazis are so proud to bring down some obscure toy soldier site with a handful of followers and minimal net security. My hats off to them for being A1 losers.........Michael

I logged on without knowing but clicked right off when I saw something was wrong. Can this hack affect me and my computor at all???

 

[jazzeum]

I don't think so since I've checked a couple of times. If you're concerned, try running your anti virus, protective software.

For those that use Microsoft (either windows or DOS based software) go to http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us . This is the microsoft update site. It is secure. It will automatically search your computer for updates and provide all the missing updates. There are emergency updates for security and routine updates for hardware. Depending on how out-of-date you keep your machine, it may take several connections to complete all of the updates. Most updates require a reboot before you can accomplish another.

These updates are important in that they will have the latest security improvements straight from the authors. Everytime you send an error message when you or your machine screws up, they record it, and they get millions of them from millions of computers.

Install the latest Windows Explorer, it has many new and improved safety features, like verification that the web site you asked for is the one that is presented on the screen.

Keep your Norton or whatever virus package you use up to date. The newest version automatically seeks its home page for updates daily.

Take the time to make your computer do a virus scan everyday. Windows has an automatic maintenance schedule. Use the disc clean and the defragmentation functions in your computers maintenance software. If you own a gun or a car, you keep them clean and maintained, do the same for your computer. It couldn't hurt.

Spent some time this afternoon along with Tim at the Bunker today. It's a shame what some idots will do to get their rocks off. I'm sure Matt will try his best to re boot the site and hopefully he will. In the mean time as the new kid on the block I'm looking forward to playing on it.........."The Lt."....Joe Q

Welcome to Treefrog, Lt., sorry about the Hobbybunker forum. I've seen your Rorkes Drift display over there, very nicely done.

Yes We experienced a low level hack! My web guys are on it and our investigating the problem. They assure me that hobbybunker.com was not hacked and that the only thing hacked was a simple re-direction to the "cyber scum" site. Thank you all for your concern and we hope to up and running again. worse case scenario we will try a new software package.

Anyways while I am here I would like to wish you all great Holiday and a Happy New Year!
