Contrary to the notice our bills are all paid but the site has been suspended due to large amounts of spam e-mails being sent from the server as its been hacked yet again.

Trying to sort it out.

Thanks for the heads up, surely there must be a way of making it more secure....

See you at the AGM I hope ;-)

What on earth do people get out of hacking a car club website to distibute spam !!

Site is down yet again due to a malicious attack - This time the site is likley to be down for a prolonged period whilst I try and figure out what to do to prevent it in the future.

sorry...sounds maybe a bit harsh, but:

if a website could be hacked so easy, it is not well programmed nor safe for the users!!!

Wonder if it's a Ginetta Vendetta?

I would say that though wouldn't I! biggrin

Ginetta Vendetta!
Memories, eh. Surely it can't still be going on... or can it?
That letter I sent to Motoring News was in 1981 which started the ball rolling for several weeks after the arbitrary exclusion of the G15 banning it from specific motor racing?

biggrin - although not a subscriber to conspiracy theories there is a definite feeling of paranoia building
