*YIKES* Aqua-Soft.org Hacked..


Recommended Posts

i guess when apple says "stop copying our software", they mean it :devil:

but on a serious note, this is stupid. i haven't been there recently, but the work they were doing was awesome - if only they'd gotten some support from apple, their apps could've been fantastic.

OFF-TOPIC, BUT what kind of "stuff" did Aqua-Soft.org have? Free stuff? Shareware?

stuff to make your windows computer into an apple computer

nice programs, wallpapers, icons, visual styles, etc.

you def. should check it out if you never went.... when they come back online

Hacking any site is bad.

Hope the bad guys are brought to justice and the site admins are able to recover all the lost data.

Anyone know if the Apache vulnerability used for this attack is a known issue?

And if a patch available for it?

It was not apple, please dont even mention that, apple sent us a letter just to stop support on the aqua apps, thats IT! nothing else seems they dont care about aqua themes or even a aqua look a like site, it was prob a mac zealot that did it or someone else that was hosted on the server had an enemy ... should be back up in a day or two

As I said when I left - live by the sword, die by the sword.

No sympathy for you at all. Your contributers, yes, but for the Aqua-Soft "Team", not a jot.

So, are you going to give a buddy the site backup the next time you reformat instead of uploading it to the server? ;)

Hackers suck, scratch that, crackers suck. Hacker is a more broad term.

Looks like Timan and I had the same problem. Both on RackShack....I hate people. GetSkinned was also attacked...working hard to get it back up and running though.

It wasn't the web site that was hacked. It was the server that hosted several sites. Read Admins post in their forums here: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/index.php?showtopic=9930

After one day of hell.... We are back, so this is what happened.

Yesturday morning around 1am, the server was taken offline by RackShack, due to the fact some hacker found a flaw in Apache. Well RackShack wanted to restore the server and remove everything off of it. With their slow support it looked as if we could not get a backup. But finally our host was able to grab a backup for our site, and the many others which were on the server. The server has been patched and everything is working as of where it was left off. So we should not have anymore problems.

Sorry for the downtime, we all know some of you guys were going crazy but we're back.

The main page will stay down for awhile till things get fixed there, but the forums will stay opened. Also if the site is ever down again, the backup site will still be up and running. It can still be found at http://www.aqua-man.net/.

Enjoy!
