Problems With DSC???
Hello all,
I havent been able to log into dailysportscar.com over the past few days, i keep getting a page saying that the site is underconstruction and doesn't have a index page. Is anyone else getting this? if so what's up, or is it just a server glitch? Cheers Ed |

I belive that they have been hacked, again. But there are people here who know more about it than me.

Looks like someone out there doesn't like DSC. Damage has been done, frantic recovery work is going on right now.
Very annoying. Sorry.

Yeah sorry guys - words fail me!
It would seem that this was a deliberate attack I'm afraid. I'll keep you up to date as best I can if Ayse is OK with that? |

They're getting close. Formatting is back, but not content.

Somebody must be mad that you put all other sportscar news sites to shame, Graham.

That's a shame, i used to go to that site all the time, but i can't afford the subscription now
I signed up once, not realising that you had to pay, so i had to cancel my subscription before i ever used it. |

Pages are showing up, graphics are back, but now it doesn't recognize my username/password.
Good thing they didn't do this, say, in mid-March. |

Well you know how it is, sometimes these things are quickly back to normal, sometimes they aren't. Depending on who's doing what.

Without (obviously) giving anyway any sensitive information, how was the damage done (in terms that I might understand)?!

As much as I dislike having to pay in principal to pay to visit any website I do find this kind of thing, out of order. Theres no need for it at all and is uttlerly irresponsible.
Any idea on who did it? I remember the IMSA site was taken down around the same time last year, I wonder if it was the same people? |

I'll quote the editor, Malcolm Cracknell, from the IMSA discussion forum:

You put the content on a certain server, and you make a backup of that, and leave it on the very same server... - Malcolm may have a point.

Well it cerainly sounds like Malcolm is kicking @ss and taking names so i would expect the problems to be solved with relative speed.

They're still working on getting the user database to work properly with the subscriber content. Content up to Sebring last year seems to have been rescued (at least, the headlines are there).
Logins to the forum section seem to work. Slowly, it's coming back. |
