I get this message when opening BB:

Yes it was Bob.

The hackers were using the chatroom software to expolit a security loophole and execute a shell script, which overwrote some files. Fortunately, I was online when the hack started and was able to nip it in the bud before they did any real damage. It didnt take long to figure out what was going on. I deleted the chatroom script to block their access and re-uploaded the files they had destroyed. It's back to normal now and the exploit has been removed, though we are minus one chatroom, at least for now.

It was lucky I was online when it happened and off work today. Pretty much every page on the site was affected, the website, the forums, the gallery etc. It took about 4 hours to sort.

There were several sites hit just from the host I use, all with the same message "by Thehacker own3d **** israel n0 war" ...all the sites that were hit were either US or British.

Just to let you know that BB has had another attck tonight. If you get interrupted service, or strange jihad type messages, that will be the reason. We are working on it.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

It isnt bombing out, the server is being tweaked to clean out the compromised files and jack up the security.

As I said 2 posts up, there will likely be intermittent service loss during this.
Martyn..........You will have to excuse Phil's wording, he is in the army.......... :D
