GG Wiki down

Seems the GG Wiki has been the victim of some cyber tagging. Just discovered this now, so I don't know how bad it is. I'll try to get it restored if at all possible.

ETA: Well, I've had a look at it, and it seems I've been the victim of a worm that's just overwritten any index.html or index.php file it could access. Don't know if it's just on my share or on the entire server yet. The actual contents of the Wiki should be safe, but I don't know how the worm got access to the system, so I'm going to batten down the hull as much as I can before working on restoring the Wiki. Probably won't get a chance until at least this weekend.

Sorry about that.

No, no 'sorry' is necessary - well, unless you were the one who actually hacked it with Islamic fanatical propaganda, but I sort of doubt that. I'm just mildly irritated with the hackers, but it isn't exactly making them look like a righteous cause, anyway...

Not your fault Leif.

Like DR pointed out, the idiots forget you need no skill to hack in a Wiki anyway.

Did they even hack it? Or did they just use the edit function?

It wasn't a wiki edit; the actual index.php file was replaced. I suspect it was some kind of worm, but don't really know.

The news is that I was going to fix it last weekend, but got distracted by this whole "double XP" thing. Will try to get it done Real Soon Now(tm).
