	Amigaworld.net News : We're Back
	posted by DaveyD on 6-Feb-2005 18:06:24 (7213 reads)

We're back at long last after a severe attack on our server by hackers. The site is now hosted on our new server with greatly improved security and performance. Apologies for the long delay, we wanted to make sure the site was secure and safe before going live again.

Please report any bugs/errors that you never noticed before, also if you know anyone having problems accessing the site tell them to use http://62.193.231.47 until the dns cache has updated on their isp.

Regards
DaveyD

PS Thanks to DaveP and Sibbi for their help

What those hackers did ?
Did they "just" delete files or did they try to stole information (UserID/Password) ?

Do we know who the hackers are?

Maybe it was that Amigashop fraud guy that got banned. Just speculating.

Discussing how the hackers got in and what they did would be inadvisable.

However, your xoops passwords are safe as they are stored encrypted.
