Autismtalk.net Hacked

[Dave]

Well it happened, someone hacked the site. Pretty disgusting if you ask me, but hopefully I can beef things up so there is a smaller chance it will happen again. The overall functionality of the site should be the same as ever, but you may find some additions that I have added that may not work. The most important thing is the functionality of the forum, so I will try to keep that intact while I work on things. Sorry to any of you who got wrapped up into some hackers site with crashes and so forth... i feel partly responsible, but then again those sorts of things are out of my hands.

Feel free to report any strange things that you may notice and/or things that do not work. It certainly could help as it is difficult to canvas many features and a zillion lines of code.

:wave: <--- Me this morning after discovering this.

I noticed it yesterday afternoon, but I thought it was my computer and then I had a email that others were having trouble too. I couldn't even email you to notify you, sorry I tried. Jemi

Thanks Dave for setting us straight.

I have to admit I too thought that it was my PC.

Glad to be back.

Jemi, Deester and others... here is my e-mail if you do not have it. I do appreciate the thought and the person who was able to contact me.

Just remove the (nospam) part. Yet another issue with the net. You leave your e-mail address in clear view and it will get farmed and you will get spam. That is why e-mail on this forum is best handled via the forms to do so, posting your e-mail in threads is a no-no... unless you like spam. ;)

I'm glad you are back up and running. When I tried to come here that day, and saw the "stupid" message, instead of this site, I knew it was trouble and got away immediately. Today is the first day I have tried to come back, for fear of a crash. I don't know why people think that stuff is so funny. And why would anyone want to do that to a site like this??? :wave:
Anyway, just happy things are ok now.
