Difflock forum

Hi,
not sure whether I should post here or not, but anyway mods can delete if they seem fit.

Is anyone having trouble accessing the difflock forums today? I am getting a message saying there was malware detected on it. I have tried to email them but not had a reply..

cheers
Rich

Yeah it got hacked, they deleted everyone's pictures they uploaded and avatars. It was too late to stop it getting listed as a malware/virus/attack site by a bunch of automated systems like Google etc. No info about it has been posted by an official from the website, and the actual underlying vulnerability hasn't been closed. A case of not closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. All I can assume is that with no software update, and no announcement message, they're still working on their problems.
