Looks like the Blue Sun Room got hacked. Mostly likely by Chinese hackers since the javascript that the page now tries to load was the same one from a while back.

I'll have to restore from backups. Not exactly sure when it happened. Will let you guys know when I know more.

Well, that just sucks. Reloading the fics has to be tedious work. I hope it goes smooth for you.



I aim to misbehave, but I usually miss!

Unfortunately, it looks like it's not going to be smooth. Just got through talking to the sysadmin and it looks there might be a problem with the backups. Will let you guys know when I know more.

Which somehow seems strangely apropos.

Is there anything we can do to assist? Is it helpful for us to repost, if possible?

Most likely people will have to repost for those days that I can't restore. The sysadmin tells me that there was a problem with the SQL dumps that he wasn't aware of and that the last good one is from October 12th, which means that we'll be missing about a couple of weeks of BSR postings.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's worse than a mere hack.

I run Kaspersky Anti-Virus, and when I surfed into the Blue Sun room just now, it notified me of malware and trojan files in the code.

Let me see if I can cut-and-paste the relevant info from the report:

detected: malware Exploit.HTML.IESlice.z URL: http://www.yl18.net/Yahoo.htm//Yahoo

While I suppose it could be a false positive, I kinda think not, especially so soon after the page got hacked.

Haken, maybe you might want to check into this? If you need any more info, e-mail me and I will send you the log file.
