May 1May 1 Active Members Popular Post I heard rumors about a ransomeware attack. What happened, @TotallyOz? I am so glad we are back to normal! Congrats for your quick reaction and recovery!
May 1May 1 Popular Post Yes, a ransom ware attack. The site was restored to a previous version and all is well. Thanks for your patience.

May 2May 2 Popular Post Well done Oz and company, real happy we're back online, shows just how important it is to keep a back up ready just in case.
May 2May 2 Popular Post I hope you've also fixed the security vulnerability that led to the hack... Thank you very much for maintaining and restoring the forum

May 2May 2 Popular Post Glad to see the board back too. And could I just say I was pleased to see that the managers of the other main Thai message boards - Moses from Sawatdeeforums and Gaybutton - were offering their solidarity and support (and in the case of Moses, practical assistance) on their boards too while the outage was continuing. Good on them.
May 2May 2 Active Members Actually, my HOME pc was ALSO attacked by the AKIRA ransomeware virus, and all my files are LOCKED and being held for ransom. I have an appt Monday to have my pc wiped and restored..... however I am told my files will be gone forever UNLESS i pay the ransome. So basically I will have to restore everything, except I dont have any backup....My bad ! But I am grateful THIS site is back and functioning.
