| Defaced? kh-union.net and others? |
Posted by: elchupathingy on August 26th, 2010
There seems to be a defaced site along with others: http://kh-union.net, that seems to have a embedded frame that is displaying this site. If you are the owner of kh-union.net the orgins of the defacement are located here:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Rt9UZnqpeVYJ:www.hackforums.net/showthread.php%3Ftid%3D633375+kh-union&cd=10&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a
Another source of it is here:
http://defacer.info/deface_mirror/?id=3371
We have no idea as to why our site was put into the frame for a defacement.
If you need to contact please send me or any other admin a PM.
Again, why put this site in a frame lol...makes absolutely no sense.
On a different note this weekend is the end of our voting for community projects. Please submit a vote :D
The next newsletter should have more information on the winning community projects and how you will be able to participate in them. Can't wait lets end the summer strong :D

In our attempts to jump-start this forum and have everyone possible involved in the recreation of this great community, we have put together twitter and facebook accounts for the forum. These accounts will allow us to generate a running feed of what's currently going on with the site, such as new forum posts, news updates, as well as server updates, and send out this information to the rest of the community. Attacks against this site will no longer keep everyone out of the loop, and will allow you to be updated on the status of this site in the event of server downtime, thanks to these social mediums. We would like for everyone willing to receive information to follow these services. We will be incorporating these accounts into the forum within the next week, but for now manual updates will be released for your benefit.
