Tech gallery down

Post by JTalley »

I just tried to look at the tech gallery and a screen came up saying that the server was hacked.

no idea, i didn't know they got the tech gallery as well. Hopefully the fix is as simple as the others. i'll look at it when i get home this evening.

they didnt delete anything, just changed some index files. i have changed the site passwords.

well, i just did a little googleing and it turns out that ASV was not targeted, but the company that hosts ASV was the target, its on the hacker news websites.

luckily it was just a script exploit that replaced files, and i'm sure the host company will put measures in place to prevent it from happening again.
