WolstonFlyer Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I am wondering if they have taken a backup of the original hacked site and restored it to a new server to extract data from etc.I have a feeling that the email to Alan was a mistake.

Well we hope not, there are just a couple of things still to sort out but we hope to be able to announce a date for launch early next week. We had scheduled work on replacing theclassifieds towards the end of this year, however we were not convinced the old classifieds could be restored without the vulnerability, we could have restored it as was in a matter of hours, so we have been testing a number of new options, have decided on which option and been configuring it. All this on top of the day to day stuff at a very busy time of the year and while dealing with a number of other non website related issues which to be frank were much more important. In fact most of the classifieds work has been done in our own time. So apologies for any delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen that the 'co-chair' of Sony has quit over the hack on Sony, in part at least due to comments in some of her emails that were revealed by the cyber attack. Does this mean Kim Jong Un was really after Andy's emails in the BMFA hack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilot-M Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 What happened to the announcment at the beginning of this week as to when the classified would be back up and running . i said more like 3 weeks and it looks as though i might be right.

Stevo Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Just think of all the money it has saved us, and those unpleasent moments expaining away the packages that mysteriously arrive from the postman to SWMBO. Talking of which... (or witch !) I believe it must have been an alliance of said partners that hacked the site. Difficult to prove, I know...

Stevo Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 That's it ! Mumsnet have hacked it.. I always knew they had a dark side. Of course multi-tasking - looking after the children, washing up, vacuuming, ironing, dusting, hacking.. do they know no bounds? Perhaps the BMFA have traced the hacker's IP address to a house in Surbiton... Edited By Stevo on 14/02/2015 15:11:33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire Flyer Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I for one am glad it's offline, I picked up a really nice piper cub from eBay recently as cheap as chips! I was very pleased. Apparently the seller usually only sells via the BMFA site but seeing as it was down he popped it on eBay. It's an ARTF but still needs a bit doing to it, nearly 6ft span, I'm a happy bunny!!

I'm using the Ubuntu (Linux) operating system and the latest Firefox browser. Just checking out a white and red, pre-built, Cambrian Elan glider from Jason off the silent-flight-forums, for £140.

Chuck Plains Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I was surprised to see the thread about the classifieds being down, though I haven't been looking there anyway. But I have no problem viewing the ads. I'm running the Lubuntu 14.04 operating system, fully updated, and the latest Firefox browser.

Pete B Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 So are you going to provide a link to your apparently-working BMFA Classified site, Chuck? I'm wondering if your Linux OS may be operating in some parallel universe, not available to we Windows mortals..... Pete ps I've just moved your last post and deleted that thread as it isn't a site problem here, I can assure you!
