drgnrbrn316 Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Due to a recent hack on our website resulting in some malicious redirects, I've brought down Minimate Headquarters for the time being. I hate having to pull the site, but I didn't want anyone picking up anything bad on their PCs as a result of this and figured it better to take it all down than continue to slap bandages on the problem and hope it was fixed. I'm going to take this opportunity to do some overall upgrades to the site, perhaps take the look in a new direction. I'll also be looking into taking on some help in running the site in the future. I'll post more details on that as I figure out what direction I want to take, but if anyone is interested in helping out in any way, or have any ideas on how to improve upon the site, you can reach me through private message here, or via email at drgnrbrn316@yahoo.com (please put MMHQ in the subject line so the spam filter won't trash it) Quote
Nessex Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Damn - that sucks dude. I have a small website that got hacked recently as well. It really bugs me when hackers target small, non-profit web-pages to leave their net-vandalism. If they were REALLY any good at what they did, they'd be taking down web-sites for government departments, defense, madonna etc . . . Quote
jcastick Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I had my personal Portfolio site hacked a few years ago......sadly, it made me not want to be in my field of study anymore. Best of luck with MMHQ!! Quote
Onyx_6 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I am sad that you have been hacked, but I am glad that you are taking steps to fix it. I have been noticing the automatic redirect on my work computer for a while, but I could still get there on a work around. Best of luck with fixing the problem! Quote
Shanester Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Good luck getting back up. I know how much of a hassle it can be. Quote
drgnrbrn316 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 And we're back up and running. Sorta. Its going to take some time before the archives can be restored, due largely in part to me having no clue what files if any are corrupted from the old site. But, we're updating again, the new gallery is slowly being populated, and I'll work on some sort of theme for the site that is more pleasing to look at. I appreciate the patience, everyone. Quote
