    Very glad to see that the forum is back up so quickly after being breached. I am going to ask the question others will likely ask...

    Did theyget any personal information from SC users? Like email addresses or names or physical addresses that might be in trade PMs? Or were they simply just pushing their own protest agenda?

    Thanks and great work to the admins and Boo!

    When you click on some of the individual threads, it still redirects to the other site..so still a few things to work out. Just a heads up..

    I doubt they got any personal information. There is a lot of hacking going on lately - they inject a line of code into the top of your PHP files to redirect users to another site. They don't actually hack into your site - they gain access through outdated PHP code (such as outdated Wordpress, PHPBB, etc.)

    I have been dealing with the same thing on my sites, its a mess. But I wouldn't worry about any of your information being taken. I actually noticed for the last week or two, if I hit SC from a Google link I got re-dreicted to a third party site.

    Best of luck getting everything cleaned up, I know how terrible it is.
