    We are being BOMBARDED with Hackers

    Is it coincidence that Middle Eastern Hackers targeted us 2 days ago and on 9-11 ?

    I don't know but after activating 4 new members (appeared legit from within the US) .... we were hacked again. We just lost all posts from 9-11-13.

    NEW registrations will be required to give a phone number so that we can verify that it is someone from the area that their IP is coming from. NO exceptions.

    Meantime we are looking for the breach in our programming.

    Never did understand the motive behind hacking us,,, Did they somehow expect we would join their 'cause'? Feel sympathetic?

    Uh, just the opposite reaction here. No respect shown, NONE given!

    Seems like limiting or additional screening of new members may be required, at least for a while. Kinda sucks for the REAL folks who want to join!

    I don't get why this site gets targeted

    No finances, grades, policies, corporate info, stock info, etc.

    The only really confidential information would be user passwords, and F6B riders are all smart enough to use passwords different from their work or financial ones.

    I'm guessing we're dealing with some social losers who don't get out of their mom's basements often enough.

    Probably an 'easy target' as there's nothing here of value to anyone,,, No need for 'hyper-level' security.

    Guessing it's a 'Just so you can say you did it' thing more than anything else,,, No real impact on anything,,,

    Maybe it was a 'training for rookies' exercise! LOL!
