winbeta.org defaced

[adwin]

Winbeta is one of the sites I check out once in a while.

Little was I surprised last week when I found out that the main page was defaced.

The issue was quickly fixed and they strangely don't mention the fact on their website, but I managed to take a screenshot at that time.

^.^

They probably did not say anything about it because they don't want too many people to know that they were hacked. If that is all that was done, then they should take some security measures. It may have been a warning..

Interesting... check out the cached pages: http://www.google.com.au/search?q=djmavis43+%2Bwinbeta

huh... is this some turkish hacking group or something? nothing on their homepage seems to load properly for me

[CPressland]

Well, maybe if they'd used CentOS instead of Windows to host their site this wouldnt have happened :p

[anonymous_user]

Why is it always Turkish hackers?

[Steeley]

imo, the winbeta website always looked like a hack job. :o

[Edrick Smith]

WinBeta is a joke they've been saying for years that they're going to release a new site. They're worse than vaporwar companies they once had their time and life passed them by.

Why is it always Turkish hackers?

Everyone is bored here :p

[Ricardo Gil]

It's beta...

Why is it always Turkish hackers?

Because they finally learned how so now it's the latest new fad over there...

I think there's only one winbeta :)

[Lee G. Veteran]

This this the same WinBeta?

Yes.

I haven't been to Winbeta in years :sleep: haha.

[(Spork)]

big deal

[what]

yawn, hackers are still defacing websites these days? You'd think after 10 years they might have found another hobby.
