RealGPx is down

Reason is simple : We got hacked 3 times in 3 days...
some simple code injection in main files (htaccess, index and such).

So for now on, RealGPx won't be available until we find a way to protect our site from such threats...
Like I wrote on RealGPx after the first hack : I still wonder why someone is hacking a small site like ours, but if it's a newbie hacker looking for an easy prey... This is such a nonsense to me...

In most cases these are not attacks targeted specifically by someone, but rather bots crawling the web looking for vulnerable sites to compromize.
Anyway, it's a pity it happens. I hope you have a good backup. All running software is up to date?

Nothing is lost, all the files are still there, only the forum as an interface is broken.
Yep, Duffer installed latest Simple Machine update a few weeks ago.

You can re-access to realgpx. At this time, i downgrade the forum. In the past we haven't got any problem with the old version.

What a shame!

Useless people, indeed.

Hopefully you´re able to bounce back as soon as possible, Laurent...

I am also sorry to see that there is still a nuisance bothering you both. As it was suggested I can only hope that it's a bot. That makes it sort of less offensive.
