Dear Hikers,
Looks like www.meridian-audio.info has been hacked. Scanning my machine now in case of a "drive-by" trojan being planted by the site.

It was showing a typical "you've been hacked" page Sat morning at ~10:00 - maybe the web hosting service took the hacked pages down. GMS

This one has been hacked too: if you just go straight to www.meridianunplugged.com you get the hacker screen.

Duncs,

From my point of view this looks like a (fairly simple) SQL injection or a Cross Site Scripting attack, which uses the "login.php" page on your site. This is a web attack that is easily preventable. However, it could be a server side issue - that is more serious.

I will run the entire domain through my scanners tomorrow; if I find anything vulnerable that could have caused the attack I will let you know.

Just trying to help!

Hoping Duncan won't mind me bringing this up...

At ALL times we own Duncan a debt of Gratitude for maintaining both the Unplugged and Product Info sites... and as we can see, it's a time consuming and headache inducing process... even when those reprehensible hackers are not on the prowl.

However, by coincidence, I happen to know that Duncan has been away on holiday while all this BS Hacking raised its head over the past several days... yet you would never have guessed it from Duncan's immediate responses and fixes... whilst keeping both sites up and running... all for our pleasure.

Duncan, Carl, Nick, Joel and others should be commended by us all for giving up their precious free time in the Maintenance and Moderation of these sites.

A big vote of THANKS from me smile

Cheers
Ronnie

+1

Without this site I would no longer be a Meridian owner. Instead, I'm continuing to upgrade my system and enjoying it more by the day.

Couldn't agree more.

All of your ongoing endeavours are much appreciated.
