Trevor2118 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 If you found that the Home Page was slow to open lately, the problem has been found. The site had been hacked and a string of hundreds of hidden links added, thus slowing opening the page. It is currently fixed but Alex & I will try to sort out how this was done to prevent a recurrence or a more disruptive hack. It least its nice to know that the website is considered a worthwhile target to add links to....
Don Candido Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 It least its nice to know that the website is considered a worthwhile target to add links to.... We already knew it, but here's your proof. Your site is big.
Tampa1257 Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Such a shame, Trevor you have a wonderful and informative web site that is a true credit to you and your love of the Habanos leaf.
El Presidente Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Trev....sorry to hear mate. Any evidence as to whom they were linking to. Any idea who was behind it?
Trevor2118 Posted December 18, 2008 Author Posted December 18, 2008 Trev....sorry to hear mate. Any evidence as to whom they were linking to. Any idea who was behind it? Not yet Rob, but I know what to look for next time...there were 100's of links
Trevor2118 Posted December 18, 2008 Author Posted December 18, 2008 I´m guessing... Porn? Yep, lots of that but a wide variety....someone obviously getting paid to generate traffic.
laficion Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Yep, lots of that but a wide variety....someone obviously getting paid to generate traffic. Hi Trevor, Sorry to hear about all this, I truly enjoy your site, great passion you have there. Hope everything works out and that you find out, who and where.
zuma Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Trevor... Sorry to read about the hacking... I hope you guys can trace the weaknesses that enabled it.
Colt45 Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Sorry to hear, Trev. I hope everything works out.
