So it would seem Nerfrevolution has been hacked, at least as of right now, hopefully the admins will have it cleaned up soon. I'm just posting this as a pre-warning to let people know to avoid it for safety reasons for a while, and we can also use this thread to keep updated on it's status until it gets fixed, unless an admin decides to post some "official thread" on this, so far I've seen no threads relating to this.

It seems to be back up.

It seems to be back up.

I'm still seeing the hacked directory page when I get in through the address bar, but was able to wander in through some of the links. Nrev still may not be 100% yet.

http://www.nerfrevol...ms/homepage.php works for me.

http://www.nerfrevolution.com is still borked.

Same over here, the hacker must have not been good at hacking.

He didn't hack the site. All he did was put up a fake page in the directory. You guys can go use the site with no worry of being hacked.

Yeah, I'm sure most of you noticed the site hacking. The problem was not on our end. It looks like someone gained access to all/most of the sites that were being hosted by this website's host. This allowed the skiddie access to pretty much all of the websites, including several of mine.

What this means:
We weren't specifically targeted. In addition, the security problem was not on our end. So don't worry that we'll be attacked again; even if we are, it would just be a blanket attack on all the sites on those servers. In addition, this guy was a complete script kiddie. He even left in the comments on the mp3 code clearly indicating someone else wrote them. Hence, it is very unlikely that he managed to do anything at all besides change the index page. All evidence points to him having done nothing else. Your passwords were encrypted when stored anyways, so he wouldn't have found much use with them had he tried to get them. The reason for the odd behavior of the index page afterwards was because a suitable backup was not found by the host on their server. It'll be fixed asap. In the mean time, I ask that you just continue using the site normally and ignore the homepage.
