Luciano,

Unfortunately we have been hacked the site will be taken down and we will probably shut the forums too so as to secure any possible back doors in to the server.

We will get things back to normal as soon as possible,

Thanks,

Phil Nutt

Ok, Ben, Javier and I were looking about the place trying to see what has been hurt, and for the MT's info, we found that the event page has a new event: Dakar 2007. the page itself is exactly the same as the old one. I don't know whether this actually is the next event:s but I'm just making sure

Also, the online flying page has seriously been mucked up. Most of the events have been deleted, and by the looks of it, Murray was the only one who flew in one of the events!

none of the screenshots work in the screenshot page also

Just thought we could help!

We regret the fact that our website got hacked yesterday evening.

EuroHarmony has grown very fast in the last years, which is great ofcourse! However, when you attract more people to our great community/airline you also attract people that have different intentions. Yesterday evening, we met such person who had bad intentions.

In my personal life, I know many hackers. Friendly people who hack websites to make the owners aware of possible security leaks. Most of the time, the result of being hacked is a message on your front page that makes the webmaster feel ashamed; nothing more.

The person we were dealing with yesterday is, unfortunately, less friendly then we hoped intitially. The removal of all files on our server was the result. Besides that he also placed some strong language on our first page.

We are a group of hobbiests who bring to you this great hobby. We are not full-time website/security experts, so there's always someone who's smarter than us :). This said, I regret the fact that this caused our website to be offline for half a day and the loss of a tiny ammount of files. I also regret the fact that the person who did this makes other, friendly hackers look bad.
