Well all, the Digital RV Forum has been toasted. Sorry. IXWebhosting is currently being assaulted by hackers, and my site was part of it all.

The Digital RV Forums was compromised, and I dropped the site rather than allowing it to be abused. User data is safe, no worries. But restoring the data will take time.

The rest of the Digital RV is fine. A vulnerability was exposed in an e-mail to me moments before the hack (and before bed), and I’m sitting here at 11:15 fighting the issue. No data was lost.  I eradicated the database before the hack was able to get that far.
The bummer is that discussions over the past two weeks have been lost, and I apologize. I’ll restore the information as soon as possible. Can’t say I’m pleased with Turkish hackers. Bottom line, and over seas hack job. Hmmmm….. I’ll leave it to readers to ponder.

I’ve got the hackers names, and originating sites. We’ll work on it here and try to secure further. Big hack across the net tonight.  No compromise to Hikenbike, just the digitalrv’s forum.  Sucks.  Reconstruction will start in a few days.  Not worth it while the hacks continue.  Welcome to the information age!
