Russ, I can get on, except it does some weird screen jump.

Can get on straight away again as well

Well folks, here is the good news and the bad news.
--- The good news - this is a kiddie script and all it can do is replace your index.php file on a web server. The good news is that this script does not give the hackers any access to the web site itself and thus no danger to any data stored there. This script has hit a many web servers including some of the biggest hosting sites.
--- The bad news - this is going all over, so if you have any php based web site (pretty much EVERY web site that isn't just plain pages is php) then you need to check your site to be sure you haven't been hit and check the fix below to make sure you don't get hit.

--- THE FIX ... if you haven't gotten this yet, make sure that the permissions on your index.php is 444 (if you don't know how to do this, check with your provider but the key is that your index.php should be read only). If you have gotten hit, replace your index.php with a backup copy and change the permissions.

Hence the "rolling eyes" smilely. I have been working with computers for 20+ years and I fully realize that macs can get viruses too. It was a joke, yesh!

Good luck Ed! Its a shame we have to live in a world of thieves, and I'm sure you're busy as hell trying to get this fixed, (if it isnt already, I've been able to get on all day)
Have a great weekend

Exotics was down for a few hours early this morning, but it is back up and running just fine. Our host provider (and it's sister company), got hacked into. I have heard that this affected something like 10,000 sites. I think most are back up.

LOL There is even a you tube out!

I guess my site wasn't worthy or was fixed for me without my knowledge. I did get a renewal warning, guess its time to pay up again.

 

[cwolfs69]

i got on the site about 8:30 PM and it worked fine. had seen the hacked site early yesterday. ordered my stuff, checked out, got confirmation emails this am, etc. looks like back up and working just great.

 

[043Turning]

just tried to click on the site NOW !! and get the follwoing

Error code 403 Please contact the system administrator.

Is this what others were getting or is this a new problem - Happy to discuss this off line

P.S Going thru google Cache shows the site fine until you click off the page and the 403 Error comes back

Mark

 

[gawdelpus]

mark its working fine for me you may need to clear your browser cache as it may be calling up old pages , cheers John

A 403 error is a blocked page message. I would contact Ed4Copies or PR_Princess through PM to see what the issue may be.

From wikipedia:

In the HTTP protocol used on the World Wide Web, 403 Forbidden is an HTTP status code returned by a web server when a user requests a web page or media that the server does not allow them to. In other words, the server can be reached, but the server declined to allow access to the page
