Today around 11 am my site the Hurricane Project was hacked.The only thing they did was redirect the index page,yet we can not figure out how since we cannot find the script.Also it is hard to determine if this was a pro or amatuer that did this.
Take a look:
http://hurricaneproject.com
We are taking this as a warning and the authorities have been contacted.Over the past few days there have been hacks on other weather related sites,is this related we don't know yet.They never had access to the server, they explotied away through a certain program onto the index page.Even a newbie hacker could have done this.
The server's firewalls are 100% secure and we now have a new DOS protection system that will protect us from large DOS attacks.Our security team went through all 3 community based servers today and found all systems up and running.They are now running checks on the other 590 servers.
It is sad these peole have to do childish deeds to settle a grudge.Their world is about to change fast,so to their buddies who frequent this board please let them know or if you see this through your proxies it would be a good idea to start saving bail money.
Peace

Why would someone want to hack a weather site that is important and at the same time educational for the people??????
