I know sleuthchat has been hacked. I contacted my host. And see if there is something on my side I can do, unfortunately there is nothing I can detect on my end.

I've just seen this, too bad....
I hope that we will never have this kind of problem with our favorite website.
Just let us know when the problem will be fixed.
Surely not a good idear if everybody check this webpage...

I have discovered where they created havoc, a lot of files were replaced or messed with. And unfortunately, I have to fix it myself. As I am going to be swamped for time tomorrow onwards until next weekend. So I will try to work through the night to fix it, in order to at least get the chat engine up and running.

I am not sure how far they were able to get, but I can see a lot of files were affected. With my own limited database knowledge, I may have to do a complete rebuild and loose all data. I will do everything in my power to prevent this. But I am not an engineer or database expert.

I am really pissed and disappointed, as Sleuthchat was going to have it's 1 year birthday tomorrow.

If you don't like jews invading moslim territory, fine. If you want the world to know about it, fine. But don't invade a little website, that has nothing to do with your war.

Malicious bastards. Honestly, some people just really need to be poisoned and shot in the ass.

Best of luck getting the chat sorted Nik; I don't know if I'd handle the withdrawl if we had to lose Sleuthchat for a full week.

I tried to work on a solution, but ran in to all sorts of issues. And fixing one issue, I jump right in to the next. Getting increasingly bold in replacing things, luck of the draw that it works, or create a bigger mess. I contacted my host and asked them if they could put everything in my directory back to the way it looked 1 week ago. And they can (yay.) I don't know when they'll do it (not likely within the next 9 hours, as it is almost midnight here.) I hope it works. However, there is someone willing to help me with the database.

I'd offer the old sleuthchat (remember the one at busyplanet.org), which I always kept as a back up, but unfortunately that hosting agreement ended last month.

I am afraid it's going to be lame and cold 1 year sleuthchat birthday.

Oh what a shame Nik that really sucks.

We'll have to have an extra big celebration when sleuthchat's sorted to make up for it :).
