Firstly my thanks for Clive for the early alert to the hacking incident.

It would appear that someone managed to upload a replacement default page onto the host that catches the hrmsaces.co.uk and hrmsaces.com redirects.<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sekret.gif" alt="" />

First concerns were that the password for the secure shell had been compromised, but htis does not appear to be the case.

It would seem that whomever did this has exploited a security hole in the technology stack used by this site (Apache/PHP/mySQL).

Hey ho, life goes on.
We will endeavour to plug the holes whilst awaiting the proposed bulletin board framework upgrade, which is due to take place sometime in august.

apologies for the incident, and thank you for staying with us.

As an update to this incident, it would seem that in excess of 21,000 websites were hacked in the same incident, by a well known band of Turkish hackers!

For those that are of a curious nature, details can be found here...
Mass hacking incident

In the mean time, I am planning to upgrade the forum software to an interim release that fixes many of the security 'flaws' that are present. This will then provide a step-stone to a full revamp scheduled in the summer.
