  • CFC hacked!

    And not by us!

    The only reason I am posting is that all files uploaded onto CFC's database since July 23, 2007 have been deleted. This means 7 months worth of mods are no longer downloadable from CFC.

    Just thought I'd tell everybody so any modders here who use CFC's download database and people who use mods from CFC would know.

    On Sunday at around 2 PM EST, the forum server was compromised and the hacker was able to delete the content of the "uploads" and "downloads" folders on the forum server. The "uploads" folder is used by Easy Uploads and the "downloads" folder is used by the Downloads Database. So far our host...

    WTF is CFC?
    Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

      BTW so we are denying involvement thus far? Ok, we could go with that. Even though I think we should take the opportunity provided by this succestul strike and use our nuclear weapons for something other than just backing our words.

        The hackers left a message that was something like "Hacked by Zarox"

        We have yet to accused of any wrongdoing.

            You shouldn't say that.

            And why would it be assumed that Poly had anything to do with it? Most of the major posters frequent both forums, and AFAIK, there's no ill-will between the two sites.

            I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                      Ok, we stick to that story.

                          True enough... This would be a great loss to the Civ community, which we are a part of.

                            This sucks. It sucks even more that it coincided with bad luck, as it often is - CFC's latest backups are apparently corrupt, which is why the loss spans as far as 7 months back. I hope the modders affected can reupload their files.
