This is going to continue to be a problem until we migrate over. We do not know the full scope of what the hacker did, so YMMV and all that jazz.

I add ad sites to my "hosts" file. It's what a pop-blocker does. My file is in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc directory.

"What is 127.0.0.1? 127.0.0.1 is the standard IP address used for a loopback network connection. This means that if you try to connect to 127.0.0.1, you are immediately looped back to your own machine. Another name for 127.0.0.1 is localhost."

I was going to reply to this guy saying that we got hacked, but I wasn't sure if that was confidential info.

I'll let you guys follow up...

Same here, seems like some sort of "official" announcement is needed.

Joe already described what happened in the "Problems" Forum.

I copied his comments to answer a question in the Isuzu Talk Forum. I then locked and stickied it.

Here is a thread that goes into more details on this issue...

Announcement made, hope people actually read it.

Joe, that is a very responsible attitude on behalf of yourself and the site administration. Thanks, I think it's the only fair thing to do besides shut down the site until repairs are completed.

Good call, Joe -- I received a couple of calls today and was just coming here to suggest that. Looks like as usual, you are a coupla steps ahead of me!

Thanks!

First off, I am going to post the announcement as a sticky in the jeep talk forum.

Now for my story. I noticed right away on Friday that my browser was going to pages it shouldn't while at this site. Since it was the first site I went to I automatically assumed I got a virus from a friend that I had hooked into the network to do some work on. So during the weekend my friends came over and we went offroading, so I just stayed offline and assumed I'd get it straightened out Monday. After downloading 4 different virus programs and not being able to find any viruses, I decided today I would make a bootable "rescue disk" at school and tell you guys I probably wouldn't be on until I got sorted out. Also while I was here, I decided I should check to make sure everything was going fine. We'll it turns out it is doing the same F'ing thing here and THEN I checked my PM's... #$*%#&@$%*@#&@#$%^&%#$#%^^@#$%^&# it wasn't my Q#$!@#$@#$%^#$%!@ computer.
