BeerBorg

Welcome back everyone and thank you for your patience.

On Thursday, Sept. 27, 2018 the hosting company alerted me to a malware attack on my hosting account and suspended the account until the malware could be removed. There was no direct threat to the BeerBorg site, content or users as the malware was detected in some old software that was still installed on the account for another website that I manage.

The malware was removed as well as old software and out of date files to help prevent this from happening again. After multiple scans from both the hosting company and myself over the last couple of days showed that there were no longer any malware or hacker threats to the account the hosting company reactivated the account at approximately 9:45am Eastern time on Sunday, Sept 30, 2018.

For those of you using Tapatalk it may take a couple of days for BeerBorg to repopulate in the application please be patient for this to get working again.

I sincerly appologize for any inconvenience this has caused and I will be working with the hosting company to improve the site's security and prevent this from happening again.

Please note that with any breach in security, even though the BeerBorg site, content or users were not directly compromised it is strongly encouraged that you change your password and make it as secure as possible.

Thanks again for you patience and for being a part of the BeerBorg Community.

Thanks Leigh for the hard work over the last couple days.

Sorry you had to get stuck with bugs in the software but I appreciate your time getting this back up and working again.

You're the best Leigh thanks for all you do! Sorry you had to go through this.

TY, I was thinking if this one goes down, I will not start again on another forum. I don't always post a lot but I am always here on the Borg......

It is alive!

Thanks, Leigh! Sucks that someone felt the need to attack a homebrew forum, glad you were able to real it in before bad stuff could happen!
and

Glad you got 'er going again! I thought I had screeewd something up on my end.

Thanks, Leigh! When it comes to computers it's better to be safe than sorry.

Anyone still having issues accessing the Borg on Tapatalk? My group icon is gone. In order to find it, I have to click on my inbox and and get in through an old message. If I search for Beerborg, it can't find the group.

It still doesn't show up on mine either but it is working after the work around. I think it just takes a few days to get populated.

I figured it would have repopulated, or whatever it needs to do, already.

Yeah, it doesn't show up in mine either. I can't find it via a search either.

Thanks for the work Leigh!

Either could I, I was going to use it last night for a post because it is the easiest way to post a pic.

Out of curiosity, what was the malware they identified? Did they tell you?

I ask because I recently noticed something suspicious on a computer that may have visited the site. It's probably just a coincidence, but I'm curious.
