Server Load Errors

Hello

We are currently having certain errors with our homepage due to heavy server loads

If you are getting any error code similar to this  : http://api.browsershots.org/png/original/8a/8adcbffd582a508513d4149c9279cdab.png

then it is just a matter of  server loads . We are aware of this  and are looking to fix this problem.

Online Geeks is Back up

Hello there

As you all might have noticed that our website was down due to the reason that we were shifting hosts. We have move to a better host now , with enough space and BW to run the website quiet well.

We would also like to tell you that we have not lost any data at all , everything is as perfect as it is . We did have a lot of errors on the website and forum due to the moving of hosts , but i have fixed them all up.

Sorry  for the long downtime.

Thank you

Hack Attempt – FAIL !

Well , Today morning i woke up , Had a cup of coffee and Started to browse. Well for a bitter surprise , The websites homepage was taken down by Mr.Sh3ll from Arabic-M Group of hackers .

I was able to track from which website he has come :

Host: 95.170.219.3
    Http Code: 200 Date: Jul 26 02:12:29 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 532
    Referer: http://www.arabic-m.com/index.php?page=sites&h=Mr.Sh3ll
    Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)

    Well He had taken down the site by DEFACEMENT – It literally means taking down the web server by means of using Exploits . Well He managed to change on the index.php file of our blog. I guess so it must be an RFI exploit in the php file.

    What is Defacement ?

    By the way he fails in long run , i managed to get back the site , nothing was deleted or changed , no passwords were found by him . He didn’t access the Secret areas of the website ;) . Probably some noob using a 2001 hack exploit . By the way i fixed all folder permissions , which will prevent him from accessing the folders or creating a c99.php attack exploit .

    The site is Secure now ! Everyone is safe :D
