It seems like the cover uploading has slowed to a halt... the same handful of covers has been on the front page for awhile now. :( How dare y'all have lives outside of TCP? |
| Grumbleduke:
We dont have ftp access at the moment, and have not had for a few weeks (hence no new covers). This is down to a security incident that took down some templates at the same time, as some people have no doubt noticed. Hopefully Snowcone will sort it out soon and uploading can begin again. |
| AppleQueso:
security incident? eep I had no idea something that serious happened |

I copied this from the admin board so that everyone knows what's going on and why there are no updates at the moment. --- Quote from: Snowcone on November 16, 2009, 08:44:52 PM ---Got a call from our host today regarding some malicious activity on our account. Turns out one of the FTP accounts for you guys got compromised and there was a paypal look alike site setup on our space that hit me with roughly 5500 emails overnight. For now, I am disabling all FTP accounts to the site. Tomorrow we can figure out a better way to let you guys do what you need without FTP access because if it happens again our account will be closed. --- End quote --- (...) --- Quote from: Snowcone on November 18, 2009, 12:14:43 PM --- --- Quote from: Grumbleduke on November 18, 2009, 10:07:20 AM ---Could this incident have something to do with why some template links are dead? --- End quote --- Yes actually. The users no doubt deleted a few files in an effort to check if they had write access to the filesystem. Unfortunately I think the idea of regularly changing passwords is a good one, but it presents a big pain in the ass for me and you in managing those accounts. For now, only the compromised account is disabled, but I'll be locking them all down today just as a safety measure. --- End quote --- |

Ah! Well, I'm glad to know it's a fixable problem with the site and not that everyone had left. ;) |
