    Looks like Ziggyware has been hacked

    I've just been over there, 29th April 10:28 am London time and there's a huge list of 'online pharmacy' store rubbish set before the main info. screen. I'm posting this just in case it has any ramifications for any members here. It's a shame it happened; it's a great website and deserves much better than that.

    I'm still getting the same Online Viagra store at the top of the Index page, so I'm running every anti virus system I can get my hands on. Well, not Norton. Let's not get completely hysterical...

    With the help of the #xna chat room I have found the 'back door', removed the spam and added a logger to find who is responsible.

    Thanks,

    That doesn't help me though. Your site is now on my company's site filter list. :(

    We are boki. The rest is known.

    The not so known part of the rest: It is Björn or Bjoern, but never Bjorn.

    Yeah. Unfortunately I have to have the 9-5 job to support the family and pay the bills. Not all of us can be a Z-Man. :)

    I'm sure if Dave and Jim talked to their company's IT dept they could get the site removed from the filter so they would be able to access it again (provided all the malicious content has been removed)

    The hard part would be trying to explain why the site in question is relevant to the job. :)
