Ace-Installer Offline...
Just to let people know, my site, Ace-Installer, will be offline for a bit. Someone decided to hack it, and the only option we had was to do a re-build of the server. Due to this, a lot of data has been lost...and obviously the payment pages for my LSQL Plugins will not be available for a while...

If you still wish to purchase these plugins, please email me, and I'll send them to you manually...

Cheers

Not really sure...as all the log files etc were lost. I would imagine they made an attack on the telnet login stuff, as I hadn't got around to installing SSH yet....bit of a bugger really Frown

Wish people had better stuff to do than this!

No...but random Kernall files were deleted off the system....I'm told that this is normally from an internal script (which I very much doubt, as it is only me and my mate hosted on it), or someone hacking it, and removing them by brute force.

Either way, it still sucks Frown

How many Andy Newbie's does it take to break a server? Wink

Double check the message on your site too, the typo kinda changes the whole meaning ;)

I've heard rumors that people seem to think I am removing my Plugins for sale, and the free ones. This is NOT true, its just the pages have not yet been re-designed after the data loss. I'm getting there, but its a slow and painful job Unsure
