Dream17 hacked

squirminator2k · 21 August 2008, 20:52

Unfortunately Dream17 is the victim of a hack attack. We're not the only ones, either - virtually every website hosted on the server Dream17 is on (which is provided by Servage, incidentally) has been attacked. We've spoken with Servage but they refuse to admit anything is wrong - they told Matty, our Host Liaison, that he had a virus.

Lovely.

So Dream17 isn't currently save to visit. We're looking at possible solutions. I'd like to avoid moving the site if possible, but once again that's looking like something I may have to do.

Sorry for the inconvenience, folks. I'll keep you updated.

I read the title of this and thought "now would be a good time to do a backup" just in case,

THEN i opened up the thread and read your post and thought shit, better check my sites still there!! Mine are Hosted by Servage too but seem to be OK! TFFT

Hope you get everything back to normal Dream17 is a nice site, good resource for Team 17 Fans!!!

It's a shame these lamers can't do something more useful with their time.

Nice site you have there, loved the Superfrog screenie. There`s a couple of links not working in goodies:Programs/misc though.,,,,,,

Edit: Ahh just seen the NA in the description, my mistake.
