CMBA Web Site Attack
Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2014 3:13 pm
Please be aware that our site was heavily hacked by some far-eastern gentlemen (I use the term loosely), who decided that it would be a good idea to host numerous web sites for Chinese knock off goods on our server. I have re-configured all our security settings and have removed all trace of the rogue files - all 100,000+ of them 
The way the attack was implemented meant that users of the site and this forum would not have noticed anything untoward - sneaky (insert expletive here).
I can confirm the security of forum Members information has not been compromised in any way and normal service has now been resumed.
Apologies if any Members encountered any disruption - if anything suspicious crops up or if you receive special offers for CMBA designer-wear by Prada, Gucci and the like - direct in bulk from China, please let me know via PM. Many thanks!
