Has City Cycling been hacked?

[MajorMantra]

I tried to access it and got redirected to some Russian website. Can someone alert the guy who runs it? I can't remember his username here.

Oh yes. Don't go there! My virus checker spotted a Trojan straight away and blocked it. Avoid city cycling until further notice, and if you went there, run a virus check!

I've mailed him via an address I found in a pdf of the last mag. Tried a tweet but twitter is a bit busy at moment too.

Cheers folks (at least means people are reading it! )

This is the second time in as many weeks. First time a full delete and re-upload cleared it up, this time re-uploading the main welcome pages appears to have cleared the issue.

I do, however, have a request for info from my webhost because I could really do without this happening on what has become more-or-less a regular basis. In the meantime I'd sadly have to say to take Magnatom's advice and run a virus check first.

I am this with the webhost.

p.s. And thank you to everyone who tried by whatever means to let me know - the problem didn't show up in Safari and I hadn't checked the site on the work pc for a few days.

Do you know the nature of the attack?

Specifically, do you know the V&V path of the code that you are using on the site? If it is PHP, I would check carefully that it is not suceptible to code injection exploits.

Furthermore, what type of server and OS are you running on? Is it Apache 2 on Linux? If not, why not?!!

I understand each individual word (well nearly all of them individually) but all connected up
