[Wildfire]

sure looks like they got hacked.

It says right at the top when you go to Howardchui.com that it was defaced by, but It keeps going to that other page before I can copy + paste it.

So yeah, Howardforums.com has been hacked.

Been there done that. Not going to happen again.

That's spam, which is something different all together.

1. www.comparecellular.com and www.geckobeach.com and www.arcx.com/sites are far more useful sites than HOFO, and those 3 sites don't kowtow to Rogers Wireless like HOFO does.

2. Except around the rather obvious boxing day period every year, I don't recall any outage on RFD for more than an hour or so. HOFO has more outages.

3. I've never seen any guy/gal on RFD whining that some guy stole his or her deal and posted it on another board. However, people on HOFO whine about RFD thieves all the time.

4. I wouldn't go to howardforums if i were you until they have repaired the hack. Who knows if the hack includes an IE exploit. SOME IE exploits can download something into your computer without your knowledge. HOWEVER, going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and downloading everything in sight under the 'critical' section will fix this problem.

Hehe yeah, I saw that a while ago. It went to a page that said "please check your security. greetings (whatever) group" kinda funny

[pt78dragon]

um..went on the site just now...u can see the hofo site for like 2 seconds, then changes to something totally different

[nx2k]

same thing happened to me, it did it twice, the third time, i clicked stop at the top and it stayed

[st7860]

if you go to the site and click a link VERY fast it'll work. just don't go back to their main page because it'll automatically redirect to the hacked site if you don't click fast enough to a sub-link
