Hey folks,

Chances are you got hacked again through retarded bullshit due to Go Daddy being 100% inept as a company and having shit for security. I STRONGLY URGE TOM AND THE REST OF THE TGH STAFF TO PLEASE CONSIDER A NEW HOST FOR YOUR SITE! ix-webhosting.com has been pretty awesome for me and my stuff, but check around and see if there's anything better.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT TIME TO SUGGEST THAT YOU START USING FIREFOX AND NOSCRIPT SO YOU CAN POSSIBLY CONTROL WHAT SCRIPTS RUN WHERE (this isn't a guarantee of safety but it's better than nothing.)


PLEASE CHECK YOUR GMAILS AND OTHER STUFF TO SEE IF YOU'VE BEEN AFFLICTED BY THIS VIRUS! I know Mongo was sending me weird types of engrish spam (and not his usual penis enlargement advertisement e-mails I get from him.) If ANY staff members have sent you a suspicious e-mail, don't even open it and just delete it. If you've been haxx0red, change your passwords immediately and check your computer for malware, etc.

I am currently unaware if this has anything to do with the chaos of retweeting scripted shit on Twitter, but be careful if you're using that site too. Internet is a fucking dangerous place today.

Also, I am letting staff know where to go in case this occurs on the site again.

Thanks for the info, Link. I'm gonna check my e-mail, immediately.

I got nothing

A local automotive forum was attacked recently with this crap. It wasn't on godaddy so it can effect everyone. Anyways things look clean for now but as with any forum everywhere you should constantly be on the lookout for suspicious popups and emails and let a forum admin know asap of anything out of the ordinary.

I'm fine right now, but thanks for the warning.

Good thing to know. I will definitely be alert is anything weird happens but thankfully I have programs to prevent stuff like that from happening.

the mighty morphin moderators continues to watch over and protect us.

thanks for the heads up link

Best. Name. Ever.
