www.strangeaeons.ca down?
« on: 19 September 2009, 03:06:32 AM »
Hey,

Tried to visit the Strange Aeons website last night and just now, and both times I've gotten a "403 Forbidden" error page instead of the actual website.

Pretty sure it worked over the summer when the website was first announced, but not now.

T'would appear to be down. I got the 403 error too. Wasn't an update mentioned somewhere down the piping?

Looks like it was hacked again late last night.  Should be back up and running now, with new passwords to keep the nefarious forces of darkness out.

There is a trojan horse trying to infiltrate those who load the site according to my antivirus program. Same thing happened to Crocodile games website a few days ago..

There were indeed a few bits of malicious code that slipped through.  I've now combed through the site file by file and removed all remaining nastiness.

Rapidly remembering why I decided to get out of IT support a few years ago...

I can't seem to log-in on the shop. Have tried IE on Windows & Firefox on a Mac and both either give me blank pages or errors

Is there still a problem or could it be my IT guys here at work stopping my access to ancient knowledge....?  o_o

One script managed to slip through the cracks, and of course it wasn't an obscure and unimportant one.  No, it was the file that manages login and operation of the shopping cart.  ::)

If anyone encounters any other oddities, please post them here.  As I said, I've gone through the whole site file by file, but when you have 100+ directories to scour, it can be easy to overlook something.
