  • Forum Hacked !

    Are you missing some of your posts ?

    Our forums got hacked by the same scumbags that hacked the New York Times and CNN. Our tech team rolled back to a previous, "known good" back-up version of the software to recover.

    Stay Calm and Post On ...

          Yup! Just minding my own business, going to log on to enter my usual late night countdown post after a long day and, Laura, being an IT, knew what it was right away. I glanced through it enough to see that it appeared to be someone from Syria (or supporting them) trying to influence my opinion on whether or not to attack Syria because of their chemical weapons usage.

            I say we tell the President to bomb Syria just because they hacked our BangShift.. He might not need Congress to agree on that..

                    It's pitiful to see an attack on a car forum to advance a cause..........they need to go out with their AK-47s and shoot 'em up in the air, or something else they consider REALLY substantial.......pitiful.

                        Thanks for your patience with all the hacking that has been going on lately. BangShift has not been the only target obviously, but we know that this has been an inconvenience for you and appreciate the understanding and patience, as well as the heads up.

                        I have been working with the IT guys on several fixes over the past week, and have made headway, but we still have more to do.

                        Tomorrow, Monday September 16th, I will be working with the IT guys on some more patches, updates, etc so that we can get ourselves locked down and secure. During this time we hope to keep the forums up and running, but periodic downtime may occur.

                        I'll keep you posted whenever possible, but appreciate your patience.

                        If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to email me at [email protected].

                        Thanks,
                        Chad

                        I was traveling home today when this attack happened, so I apologize for not being on it as quick as the other times we've been hit. Brian isn't used to having to handle any of this stuff. I felt bad that he had to scramble.

                        And if you are having trouble getting to the main menu on the forum, just use this url and it will get you there. http://www.bangshift.com/forum/forum.php

                        Thanks again guys.
                        Chad

                          At this point we think we can make our other changes this morning without interrupting the forum. I'll keep you posted.

                              We have fixed it four times now and the IT guys have recovered extremely quickly each time. They are also tightening our security measures each time. You tell me when these Syrian assholes will stop hacking us Bernie and I'll tell you how much longer until we get it fixed.
