It seems like our uwol website might be hacked or something.
When I tried to view the uwolchallenge site a few minutes ago, I got this message:

[[TriCk AKA Saywhat? HaS ArRiVeD // TeaMp0isoN]]


(I have sent an email to Meryem about this too)

All the films etc are intact. It's just some idiot hacked into the program Mat uses for the shell of the site.
Hopefully they have an updated version that is more secure.

Good the films are untouched.

Yep, just some idiot that found a backdoor into the front end is all.
Hopefully Mat can sort it out in short order.

Hi guys
Just got back after the weekend to this lovely surprise! - What idiots these people are huh. - Hopefully the database of news will be intact :-/ …..what a pain!

I had the same problem with a Iowa film board I run. Constantly bombarded by hackers. Thankfully they closed some of the backdoors and things quieted down a bit.

Hope they didn't muck up a lot of stuff for you Mat. I know you put in a ton of hours to get the site to where it is today.

Too bad we couldn't track them down. I'd open up a can of Yeti Whoop-Ass on them! :)

Mat's got the site up and running again.
He was up till 1:00AM his time working on things on his end!

Well done, Mat!
Too bad it wasn't possible to find out who it was.
Hopefully it never happens again.

Way to go, Mat. Thank-you!

those boys are the best...got through the entire uwol crisis while i was hanging out on a film set.

as always, huge props to the boys, who keep the UWOL trains running on time!
