Sorry for the redirection to a Pharmaceutical site today. Someone hacked the site and uploaded a few files that caused that to happen. Good news is at this point it was very minor and no data or files were compromised. My server guru is looking into the log files to find out what if anything else was done to the site.

Fortunately it appears that other then bouncing emails off the server and redirecting traffic to the pharmaceutical site there was not any damage.

Any updates to this I'll post to this thread. Sorry for the inconvenience!!!

I had to go through a round about way to get you the information.

It was the only way I could think of. Sorry if I should have done it different.

Jerks at Microsoft told me someone had hacked MY computer, for just $149 they could fix it. :dry: You just can't trust any of those computer related companies :mad:

I was beginning to think some one was trying to tell me something (Viagra?) or that Armalite's Customer Service was trying to get back at me for disparaging them.

The hacking persisted because they also uploaded a file to the site that was supposed to hide and keep making the changes that redirected to the pharmaceutical site.

We think we found all the issues and changed all the FTP passwords. Keep your fingers crossed!

And hacked again! There was another file we missed... We're working to harden their attempts at uploading files to the server.

The great news is what they are doing is not effecting any files it is just a sneaky way of hijacking a domain using the .htaccess file.

Thanks for all your work! It sure would be nice to get a physical address on them so someone could pay them a visit, just to say hi you know :whistle:
