Field of Glory Web Site Attacked

Just to let you know that we had a bit of an emergency on the Field of Glory web site. It was attacked by a hacker on the 5th March. Some of you may have received a virus warning message when you tried to log on.

In essence it was harmless but would obviously have given anyone visiting the site a bit of a fright. Unfortunately both Iain and I were out of the country and got woken in the wee small hours, but the team were already on the case and the site was repaired and back up and running within hours.

How and why these pratts do this stuff remains a mystery to me, but I guess the joys of the intranet age

Best Regards
JDM

Good to see we were POA up at impact - even without JD and IRM providing a rear rank

Perhaps they were trying to hack the competition results for the year's supply of FoG...

Seriously, if it was the forums, attacks on php BBs are quite common.

No it was the Field of Glory web site

We now have him logging in there at just after 5.30 GMT on the 5th March, we think we can do some more tracing

Not me then, far too damn early in the day

Seriously, unless they're very stupid, fat chance of finding out who they are. And sadly these things are fairly common.

Which punishment for the offender should me appropriate for our period.

Republican Roman
Wallachian
Islamic
or
Good old fashion Hundred Years War English.
