agent 47 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hey guys, Maria on Facebook was reporting that she has been having trouble getting on the site. I checked this out by typing in www.miamiviceonline.combut instead of it taking me to the site it takes to a page saying "own'z by Federal" and some French voice in the background. Definitely looks like a hack to me but wanted to find out whether or not anyone else is seeing this when using the link above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agent 47 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 A small update, whoever took over the page listed an address ending with .ma which is registered to the country of Morocco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny-Burnett Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Morocco, as in Casablanca? Here's looking at you, kid. I missed the hack yesterday so it must have been brief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lar Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Tried popping in yesterday and all I got was that screen posted up above (I'll admit that that screen coupled with a language I don't speak was a little disturbing to me). "The hell?" was all I could think, though I figured whatever it was would be taken care of in short order.Morocco' date=' as in Casablanca? Here's looking at you, kid. I missed the hack yesterday so it must have been brief.[/quote']LOL "Play it again, Fman." The hack definitely wasn't brief for me, I couldn't get on pretty much all day yesterday.

Kavinsky Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Weird, must have been between the times of 1:00 am to about 7 or 8 am as I went in at about 12.and why hack this place of all places? there is no monetary gain I would imagine unless its bad blood from the old forum again?

Guest MetroVice Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Glad the site is back up :)Like everyone else, I too got the strange site that came up when I tried coming here but I'm very happy to see everything is back up and running again. I was afraid maybe somebody got fed up and just said to hell with it all and forfeited it all (heaven forbid). In the end I guess it was just another dirtbag hacker trying to hijack a website where we discuss the greatest show there ever was :cheers:I'm just glad to see everyone still here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger390X Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Glad to see that everything is back to normal...Sad to see that hackers are still around in this day and age. I guess they have small balls and need to show themselves to the world as to what they can do.Mischievious...................so sad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Glad to see it back up, was getting worried. Thanks for all the work Caipi! What kind of anti-virus/security protection does the site have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Glad to see it back up' date=' was getting worried. Thanks for all the work Caipi! What kind of anti-virus/security protection does the site have?[/quote']Probably the server that was hacked so only the hosting co. would have control of that. Great that we are back up I missed you all. Thanks a ton for all the hard work to straighten things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAir Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Glad that this site is up and running again!I got me my first pair of espadrilles,recorded episode "Victims of Circumstance" on tape,and this site is back on again,a good day for Vice!I was wondering what woing on with this site.Glad to see that we can come back to this awesome forum.As for the hacker I ask him/her this..."Whats your game?"

ViceFanMan Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I too was having lots of trouble accessing the site...but I'm thrilled to see it's back up again! The only problem I'm having is I can't access the site anymore from any of the links for threads in my email. I have to access the site directly by doing a search for the site, then clicking on the link that provides. But, again, overjoyed to see that all is not lost!!

With restoring the site and our database" data-date=" I moved the site to our new server.We want to upgrade to the newst version of our vBulletin software (the updat still causes trouble at the moment) and that">www.miamiviceonline.com as you are used to.What kind of anti-virus/security protection does the site have?That's a good questin. Don't really know. It all comes up with the software installed on our server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 www.miamiviceonline.com as you are used to.That's a good questin. Don't really know. It all comes up with the software installed on our server.As I'm sure you know, the firewall/security on the server needs to be upgraded or changed. We greatly appreciate all the effort you put into miamiviceonline.com but I hate to see you have to spend all the time and effort it takes to to restore the site.

It all comes up with the software installed on our server.Many Thanks Chris for your hard work and efforts to get the site up and running again. It must have been a huge and time consuming task and we appreciate it.From your comments I'm guessing you may be using a 3rd party hosting service? Found an interesting blog on site security. http://blog.whitedoggreenfrog.com/2011/03/10/how-websites-get-hacked-and-how-to-keep-saf/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
