    Damnit to Hell!!!
    Well.....its something new....I think.

    I'm no Network Security professional, but I'm gonna hunt around and see if I can find it.
    I KNOW it was working FINE laaaaate last night!

    It LOOKS like they've somehow done a re-direct on the index page.
    www.goodhunting.info/index.php

    I already did a quick look at the FTP site and it LOOKS ok....but........Hell I don't know.

    Gonna look in the AdminCP and see what I can see.

    I wish to Hell I could figure out HOW they are getting in!

    I don't know how we can safe up the password to the admin part any better than we did the other week. Just don't know how they are redirecting stuff.
    They sure spend a lot of time hacking at our little site with no more traffic than we have. Looks like they would move on to a site that has much more hits.... Who the hell knows.
    Let's blame it on Kribbs. He's upset the tech support gods this week.

    I have no clue how this stuff works. Surely they'd do something more like a "blanket hack" ... where they find a way to hack a zillion accounts at once. Either that or we have a major weakness the other sites don't have. I'm with you ... why hack a site with a small handful of active members? I wish there was a way to check with Go-Daddy to see how widespread this is.

    From what I can tell they just redirected the image "logo" to that Linkbucks site. I certainly am no one that knows HOW that was done but it almost seems to me that somehow they did it without getting into our account? Wonder if it is possible to do that from the outside?
    I mean I have a vested interest in the security of the site in that's it's my credit card that runs it and is on file. So I don't want anyone snooping around in there. The password we "safed" up the other week was as strong as the software would allow with all the suggestions they make.
    I have not logged back into the admin part since. I know Niner has and tweeted some stuff. Wonder if they are going in through his log on from his computer? In other words when he's in there, there is a program that is running on his computer that allows them to work in the dark?
    I'm guessing at stuff now but it sure don't add up to all the work to hack a site where 20 or 30 folks bullshit all day....

    Well, I can't find anything obviously goofy in the FTP site or the AdminCP.

    Gonna try a couple of things yet.....


    Cap'n, I MAY have to see if I can get you to call GoDaddy. Would you be able to do that today?
    I'll send you an email in a little bit with what I've found so far.

    This really ticks me off.

    Test:
    Gonna try to post this from Safari.
    When I click the GoodHunting logo it is going to the Linkbucks site...
    When I type www.goodhunting.info or .com directly into the address bar of Safari and entr I get this:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/40/9553740/html/index.php on line 23

    End of posting test from Safari.

    Niner. I'll be home to a real computer this afternoon. Got to count calves and feed up and a couple of odd and ends.
    Should be able to call late this afternoon or tonight.
    Take Care, Captain

    Yeah! This Pumphead hasn't been on the admin site in ages .... let's blame it on Niner!

    It's prolly Sunshine ... she has a "thing" when it comes to hacking.

    OK.......I reloaded the index page from my backup hard drive.
    That's the yellow page with the GH logo on it.
    Now...FOR ME anyway...That page loads (www.goodhunting.info)...but still goes to the ad site when the logo is pressed.

    The redirect is on http://www.goodhunting.info/forum.php

    Prolly nails yer ass if you click on their site.

    I don't really want to go back to it, but if memory serves me correctly, it had some sort of "count-down" ... like it would automatically take you there if you waited x-amount of seconds. I never stayed long enough to see what it did once the count-down hit zero.

    I called GoDaddy and talked to one of their cheerful tech support staff.
    I *think* I know what we (I?) need to do to fix the problem(S).

    Yeah, thanks Bill. Out of habit, I clicked on the logo a minute ago. I see where you took down the link and added a personal note. We'd be pretty screwed without your efforts around this joint.

    I'm gonna suggest to management we give you a 10% - 15% raise over your present salary!

    I guess we'll have to cancel offshoring his job to that guy, Nueve in Mexico. Sure sounded like a good idea at the time!

    I had been trying to get in earlier and had the same problem. My bet is it's the NSA. Who else would worry about our little band? We've joked about being on watch lists because of the stuff we post, so maybe this is their way of slowing us down because our collective intelligence and common sense is a threat to the administration. 2
