I tried to log onto Warpshadow last night and it appears to have been hacked, everytime i attempt to load the page my Norton program detects a page redirect attempt and blocks it.

The same problem is still occuring today.

Is anyone else having this problem? I'd like to let the site admin know but I'm not able to log on to send messages.

Works for me. Maybe empty your browser cache? You also may want to manually set up your DNS servers in your internet connection if stuff like this happens a lot. I find that helps.

EDIT: I took a closer look at their forum. I understand the people there would love the type of accessories you produce and you definitely are doing them a service by participating, but I found their moderation policy to be horrendous. In the discussion of the potentially leaked 6th ed 40k document, even summaries in people's own words were edited out of people's posts by the moderators. So while warpshadow works for me and I have been a fan of tyranids since the Rogue Trader days, I'm going to give that forum a pass.

I've never previously had any issues with the site conflicting with my security programs, this is new. I've switched computers and still getting the same redirect attacks when I try to load the page.

None of the other fourms I visit seem to be having any issues, just WS.

I think it might be on your end. I'm not showing any sign of a redirect on their site. Maybe do a comprehensive scan of your computer?

EDIT: Could also be a false positive from your norton software.

Howdy folks.

Well, anyone who knows me from Adam knows that I've been involved with Warpshadow.com, pretty much, since the inception. It is a place near and dear to my heart, and though I know nothing about WebMagicTomfoolery, I have an abundant amount of enthusiasm for the board. Unfortunately, boards don't run on enthusiasm alone, and as much as I love the board, that love can't obliterate the nefarious work of hackers.

Thus, as we had recently come under the crosshairs of hackers, and there were all kinds of weird redirects happening when people tried to access the board for about a week now, we contacted out service provider and asked for help. They took a look through our files, found some ones that had been messed with, and, promptly, obliterated those files.

Unfortunately, those files were rather essential for the operation of the Phpbb backend of the message board :|

So, when they removed the infected files, Warpshadow went dark.

Now the Gestalt is faced with the mammoth task of resurrecting the board from our back-ups and patching the holes that let the hackers through in the first place. Understand that NONE of us are web-heads, so we are, pretty much, clueless when it comes to how to move forward. We will be relying a great deal on our service provider for help with this, and I ask that you all have patience with the other members of the Gestalt/Admin team. Unfortunately, I will be away and out of synapse range for the next week, so I am trusting this all to Yaleling, Hydra, Hive Node, and Moloch. If anyone has any help that they could provide to them, I encourage them to do so.

Rest assured that we will restore the Shadow in the Warp as soon as we are able!

Yay php vulnerabilities.
