Trouble with UWOL Challenge website?
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. |

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

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! :) |

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