Canonfire! Forums-viewtopic-Oerth Journal 23: Maure Castle Special Edition is out

Sat Mar 08, 2008 12:17 pm harvestersheroes.com Site Hacked

Just a warning to all, the Harvester's Heroes site has been hacked.

<<<<UPDATE>>>>
*****************
*****DANGER*****
*****************

DO NOT put your user name or password in the pop-up window if you go to the site. They are probably harvesting user names and passwords. The whole site is compromised.

All can say is, nice job assholes. I am sure your mothers are proud.

In Service,

Thanks for the notice Saracen. I'm a mod at HH and the site was fine yesterday, so I know it happened in the last 24 hours.

An open request - if anyone can help me get ahold of Kagan, that would be appreciated, since he is the one who can get the site back up from an archive.

My e-mail addy for him is tied in to the old site and I have no idea if the addresses will work after the hackers doing their thing.

Another update.

If you want to go into Harvesters, please use this link:

http://www.harvestersheroes.com/CMS2/index.php

The "CMS2/index.php" is vital, since a redirect has been attached to the domain through the host in some manner. Thus using the address of just "www.harvestersheroes.com" will only get you the hacked page.

All the data and site info is intact and Kagan is working on getting the entry page back to normal service.

Hello Everyone!

Just wanted to drop a note that we believe the site is back up and functioning as normal. It was locked down by the host company while we deleted the bored bastards handywork and now its back online. The good news is that they cant do the same thing again. Bad thing is idiots like that dont die off quickly enough so it may happen again in some new way.

Again Everything is back up and running and thanks for everything!

Either of these links will take you there:

Kagan,

I tried to login with my user name and password and I get redirected to this thread on canonfire.com instead of Harvester's Heros... weird.

I just went back in and logged out a few times and tried other peoples accounts. I am not duplicating what you did Bryan but if they did it its something very devilish. Not sure what to tell you on that quirk. Thanks for the info though.

Kagan,

I think it may have been a cache issue with my browser. I closed the open tab and then went back to the Harvester page and I was logged in.

Thanks for looking into it...

It was still weird,
