AlanM Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Is there a problem with this just now? Can't reach it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 You can still access it if you click the info under your name on the LHS, it looks like the link is missing from the 'club extras' menu though. I think Mawby's been doing some upgrades today which is probably the reason why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mawby Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 The options available from the menu was an extension to the main iTrader system. Unfortunately an exploit was discovered in it and until its fixed I've removed it. Don't want to let those pesky hackers in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mawby Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 do you get many hackers trying to get in?The site is always under attack, same as any other really. Unfortuantely once an exploit has been published it doesn't take long before someone tries to use it. Google is a hackers friend - it can give you a list of sites that can be hacked if you put the right criteria into the search. There are ways to reduce the chance of appearing in a Google hackable list thought, and I try to keep this site off of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mawby Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Depends, they could copy the contents of the server to create a rival site, or harvest all the email address for spamming purposes, or more than likely they would just delete the site and replace it with a banner saying something like "[Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
