Albert Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Why bother to take down Atari? Can't they go after some Net Nannies, and wind them up? :-) If you search Google for "hacked by Pyske", you'll see that this individual or group has hacked quite a few sites. I doubt he or she was targeting the atari-forum site specifically. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I found this, is "Brian S" the admin on that server? http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35430 ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijor Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Too bad ... I found this, is "Brian S" the admin on that server? I am guessing he is actually the admin of the host server, not the atari-forum admin. Btw, Albert (or any moderator), wouldn't be better to edit Carmel's post and remove the password list? I realize that this list is currently "public" anyway, but even then, better not to contribute. Aly, could you (or Mike) please keep us updated.

carmel_andrews Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I don't think we need to see all of that. :-) OK. So someone has done a rm -rf . Why bother to take down Atari? Can't they go after some Net Nannies, and wind them up? :-) well, how was i to know it was a password list eh, i just assumed it was some sort of code I was merely pointing out what i saw on getting to that particular w/s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techie_alison Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Oh don't worry about it Carmel. For Christ's sake!! The ROOT admins I believe were : Brume, Silver Surfer, myself. Site Admins : Brume, Silver Surfer, Mike, myself. That password list I don't recognise anyway. We had regularly gone through the users. That's not our list. The images are still hosted.. Anyone have the alternative site? I should know it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijor Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Hi Aly, Anyone have the alternative site? I should know it.. I'm afraid I don't remember exactly, it was in the Atari Legend domain. But last time I heard about it, I think somebody mentioned it was down.

AB Positive Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 figures, that "Difinitive app list" had a maxYMizer package I was going to run yesterday to get acquainted. Had tons of instruments and whatnot. Will wait patiently I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Admins : Brume, Silver Surfer, Mike, myself. That password list I don't recognise anyway. We had regularly gone through the users. That's not our list. That's the list of users on the actual server, as opposed to the forum. It's a dump of the /etc/passwd file. The passwords are encrypted, although usually they are not stored in this file (in which case they would simply be an 'x'). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 this really stinks Atleast it wasn't our forum that brought down the server but I can't say I am amused with this. *sigh* And yes Brian is indeed the host. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Well, this is posted now: "Undergoing Maintenance Website data is currently being moved to a new server. We are working as quickly as possible to ensure everything is moved safely and completely. Thank you for your patience." So hopefully they'll be back up soon.

crash Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) I doubt there is any way to persuade someone who is clearly intelligent, but must lack the imagination to put such abilities to use in a meaningful or productive way. Surely there must be more important things to take a stand against in this world than an old computing platform. These hackers are probably smart enough to be well paid network security professionals, but can't even see it.

wongck Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hmm, just now it was showing that: hacked by Pyske page again... May be the system was already hacked when the backup ran. So restoring the last backup just brings up that page again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
