I received a 'heads-up' from a forum member that the old WWWBoard forum archives had been hacked with a redirect to a porn site. I was able to reproduce this finding. I have renamed the offending files, replaced them from the archive and notified ValueWeb's abuse department.

:eek: Please advise me if any of you discover any other parts of the site which have been so defaced. :eek:

Lee,

This is most shocking. You wouldn't happen to have the link would you? Just so I can actively avoid it. :D

I have had to lock down the early archive directories as pornographic redirects have again been inserted. I will reopen them once the web hosting company's security people can take a look at what was done and see if they can track it back to the offender.
