On the night of July 22, 2008, Tsikot Forums (http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums) was hacked. Through a security hole in the forums bulletin board script, a third party with malevolent intent inserted a malicious script within the site’s code. Several hours later, as if on cue, the site was reported to Google and immediately flagged as a “Reported Attack Site” with the following description:
“This web site at tsikot.yehey.com has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.
Attack sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.
Some attack sites intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.”
Tsikot.com Administrators addressed this issue by upgrading the bulletin board with the latest version and implementing several security measures. We have already requested a review with Google and the status of the latest badware review for this site:
A review for this site has finished. The site was found clean. The badware warnings from web search are being removed. Please note that it can take some time for this change to propagate.
We would like also to take this opportunity to announce that the new servers ordered to accommodate our community’s growing membership and activity have arrived and will soon augment Yehey’s present servers allocated for Tsikot. We will soon make an announcement for the next scheduled downtime as we configure and transfer Tsikot’s database and files to the new servers.
Expect a much improved Tsikot Experience soon!
Thank you very much!
