I tried connecting to flyertalk and somehow got redirected to "dupedb.com" promoting rapidshare downloads.

I don't know if others have experienced this but I got this on three different systems so I'm posting this as a heads-up to the site administrators.

I've been getting the same here in the UK. No problem earlier this morning, now can only access via mobile site. Faith and trust in Flyertalk site falling further :(

Same here.

Same. Are the FT tech people capable of handling the recent problems? If not, and it appears they aren't, they need to find new people.

hacked again. sigh.

a quick google search of dupedb shows that their discussion board is also 'powered by' vbulletin. no idea if that means anything.

Same here in Germany,

using firefox.initially redirected to this file sharing site, now just white screen.
No problems with IE.

cheers

Same problem from Japan. Redirected to the same file-sharing site. Easy to block the redirect in Firefox, but still could not get to FT. Using IE I would just get an error message.

FT seems to be up and running again.
These hacks are quite annoying!

Same here. Don't think it is the fault of the FT IT group as any dedicated attack will achieve the desired goal.

Indeed, I was also redirected this morning. Will there be some sort of after action report on the outage? If not, I assume it is up to us to take the initiative to change our FT passwords, etc, correct?

That may well be true, but FT without a doubt, seems to have far, far more problems than ANY website of any type that I visit.

It should be getting a bit embarrassing for the IT staff at this point...

Agreed......Just hope members personal details can't be accessed as easily as the site seems to be hacked.

?????

How is FT (actually, IB) not responsible for the security of their systems? They are running a multi-million $ operation and need either to deal with things in-house or put some serious pressure on their vendors.

The single largest piece of the system (vBulletin) is actually owned by IB. It's their baby now and has been for a couple years.

What FT tech people? The same ones who routinely take 3+ weeks to answer a simple question here?

I never thought I'd say this, but the guys in Colorado Springs were far better, at least on what is customer-facing.

I got the same re-direct this morning- 9:30 a.m. EST. I checked

http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

and it confirmed that FlyerTalk was down for others and not just me.

About 10:15 a.m. EST it came back a and the above URL reported it was up.
