Site access to today - hack
Just to let you know:
The web hosting company has been subjected to mass hacks. Someone is driving traffic to various pharmacy type sites, and is hacking site en masse to do that.
I've cleaned out as much crap as I can find at the mo, Tony is away so we can't go to a clean backup just yet - so please bear with us, there may be more probs, or probs from things I've not spotted yet.
If you manage to read this but subsequently can't get in, you can mail me on bill *AT* alleykat.co.uk
You will have to re log-in I think, but should only have to do that once.
Please don't mail me about that, we know that one - any other 'spots' may help though.
cheers all.

Thanks for the update, bloody hackers are a pain in the posterior.
But I am interested in the Penis pump if they come in a Large by the way

Now looking for 8 seconds with a SBC engine
It all seems so pointless; they're trying to raise traffic and create loads of links to particular sites, to boost srch engine position. The engines will probably realise this and ban or penalise them anyway....
So yeah, bloody annoying.
On the flipside, we had a hack where I work but they just left a msg on the home page, although they had the keys to the whole shebang. They highlighted a weakness in the site without wrecking it ('tweren't me that built it, and I didn't know the site well then). So they actually did us a favour and I found zillions of holes wanting fixes.
O well. Reckon I've got it cleaned, but best to a restore just in case I missed a bit!
