Can not access FT at all on Firefox. My Blackberry wap works. What's up?

Looks like another hack - I was taken to some kind of Rapidshare site.



The hackers probably figured that a holiday weekend would be a time when tech people might not be available.


Edited to add: A-HA! They were wrong about no tech people. Good work! ^

Works again with Firefox. ^ to the tech people for quick response.

Hear, hear ^^
(Google Chrome)

This is getting annoying. Glad it has been fixed quickly again.

me too - hijacked a few minutes ago now seems okay.

same problem. now working again.

yep, hijacked to dupedb.com, but now it's back

Started about 35 minutes ago with (from memory) an error about config file already exists, then something about config.new.

Further refresh displayed dupdb ...

It's not the only site this has happened to recently:

Also Hijacked but recd private FT message from Eauclaire
 

Fisrt hijacked then Private message from FT showed up in my email with the message to link to www dupedb.con

I just deleted two of the Spam PMs with the links to the hijacker's site.

getting old with the hacking

is it that easy to hijack a site?

same here

Back for me also. Good job by the tech. folks.

Back for me as well.

www.flyertalk.com did not work on my computer or Blackberry but www.flyertalk.com/wap did work on my Blackberry.

Wonder why.

I got the PM - but wasn't on FT at the time to see the hack...

It was supposedly a zero day attack last time, wonder what it is this time.

I tell ya, once these idiots get in once, they won't give up. And they install backdoors....the servers need a total refresh.

Good job??? Getting hacked a second time by the same people does not qualify as a good job.

Unless you mean a good job by the hackers...

ROFLMAO

Three cheers for the FT tech staff.

Thanks for the quick fix. Just deleted two bogus private messages from my inbox. Haven't been here for awhile, so was surprised to get an email notification of PMs :D

I got two FT messages sent to me.

How do I delete the rapidshare message without reading it?

Just go to your Private Message Mailbox. Click on the box to the right of the message, it should put a check mark in the box. Do this on every message you want to delete. Then go to the bottom of the screen where there is a field and a pull down box "Selected Messages". Choose "Delete" from the pull down box and then click "GO". That will delete the messages without your having to open.

Thanks wharvey for your quick reply. I got flustered having two potential hacker messages.

These are the kind of criminals that the federal security authorities in the US should be prosecuting with their billions of dollars of resources, instead of wasting it all on hassling innocent air travellers.
