KevUK Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Firefox alerted for me, but as David have stated before, the Google-warning stays on for a while after the actual threat has been dealt with, I assume that is what is alerting Firefox. GOOGLE Chrome Nearly 24 hours later and still the same screen as my previous post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_O'neill Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I got no warnings of any kind today when I logged on. Just make sure you have a good firewall on your own system, and keep your antivirus up to date. If the hackers want in, they will get in eventually, just as a burglar will penetrate a building if he wants in bad enough. All you can do is make it as difficult as possible for them, and as painful as possible for them if they do get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_O'neill Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Blasted hackers, don't they have anything better to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotGuy Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I assume nothing like this was left after the recent hack? Nothing has come up, but it may be wroth having look through in case any similarities arise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CADTutor Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 CADTutor was completely wiped and restored from a backup after the attack, so there should be nothing remaining of the files the hackers uploaded. The original vulnerability has been patched, so the same attack vector cannot be used. I have seen no sign of any malware - it looks as though this was a case of defacement rather than anything more malicious. Google are pretty hot on this problem and the presence of any malware on this site will be flagged up very quickly. Obviously, everyone should have adequate protection in the form of up-to-date anti-virus software so that even if that were to happen, they would still be safe. That goes for any site, not just CADTutor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukecad Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Just for info Cadeverything.com has been hacked earlier today and is offline. I've been in touch with the webmaster there and he is trying frantically to get it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I visited there yesterday and noticed a strange banner along with a soundtrack. Very odd so I immediately left the site. When I tried to access it this morning I got the Error - Not Found message. I hope CAD Everything gets back up and running soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotGuy Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Why are these sites being targeted suddenly? Makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 CAD users are smarter than normal people and it is assumed therefore that 1) they know how to read and 2) they possess a high degree of analytical thinking skills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotGuy Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 CAD users are smarter than normal people and it is assumed therefore that 1) they know how to read and 2) they possess a high degree of analytical thinking skills? So, hackers are scared of us? Or they want to lower the general IQ of the internet, as if it needed help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hackers are the electronic equivalent of taggers in my opinion just on a grander scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotGuy Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Taggers? Que? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Cadeverything back online. Just had trouble logging in here. (Cadtutor) Four times got the "thank you for logging in" message then thrown straigbt out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hmmm? Just got logged out for no reason and took seven goes to get back in. Same thing, got the thanks for logging in message then thrown straight out again. Anyone else seeing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Haven't logged out but I could run a test. A "tagger" is oft described as a graffiti "artist". Believe me most of them (like 99%) are not artists of any sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Test completed. Logged out then logged back in with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotGuy Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Maybe that was a one off fluke...thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Seems OK today. Must have been a hangover from the attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
