I just tried to go to the VLC page and got something which is definitely not VLC; some idiot is proudly claiming to have hacked it - anyone else seen this?

It appears he's been a very busy boy hacking sites.
I know the pain and frustration of having a website hacked, it happened to my own "Snowman's FlightSim Addons" site many times over the 6 years it was active.
One of the many reasons i no longer have a website..............
Even the big boys arent immune,..... as Avsim found out a few years ago.

kinda wonder why alot of it is targeting sim sites , he is good at hacking sites but the graphics and message could be alittle more meaningful ,.the Arabic message reads hacked by speedCraCk and hacKmasteR!.

What we need is a new Super Hero .. course would have to be a multi-millioneer .. Given the law and right to knee cap these peoples fingers .. course would need a suit .. maybe Gareth Morgan should forget his cat culling scheme get to his Cat cave with Cat women and scratch these evil little snipes out .

Looking at the location of hack attempts on my site (20+ per day) I'm pretty sure that these are directed at CMS sites, such as Joomla, as these have known weaknesses. The hackers wouldn't care what the site was there for, they just go after anything which appears to be a CMS site. A lot of the attacks on my site only work with other CMS systems, but 9 out of 10 attackers wouldn't know the difference. Luckily, too, most attacks are poorly done, and wouldn't work even if my site was left wide-open. Which it isn't.

Of course one day someone could get in, and that's a bit of a worry. The countless attacks do tend to take some of the fun out of running a site.

Maybe we should all get chummy with Kim Dotcom and get him back into the business to hack the hacker and put him out of business.

Yeah it has been hacked unfortunately but all the data is still there which is lucky. Im just trying to sort it now.

Thanks to 'Chris' for alerting me by phone today
