hijacked from pistonheads, but the front page of 911 virgin site has been hacked, the other pages are available if you have the links, just a question to our mods, but is our site protected from this ?
Hi
I have read that thread on PH as well, with people blaming Frontpage etc...
Its not as easy as that though as I think the hosting server was hacked...
The main problem in this is that there is only so much you can do....because it totally depends on the skill of the "hacker"
As an example, a friend of mine called Paul whom I have known for over 20 years can hack ANYTHING ....I kid you not....even the Pentagon or places like it....
Hes a consultant for people like Norton and Microsoft and advises them on security problems etc....
He is honest and would never hack anyone....which is a good job as there is no protection against guys like him...... at the other end of the scale there are "scripters" who download a program which can run scripts against badly protected sites and get in and alter things....they are not very bright and usually its a sort of net vandalism...
So no protection is total, its a matter of degree and common sense....
All the best Brett
