Very odd. What is this? Is the site still messed up after the hack. The file TbzO.exe is being downloaded to my C drive when I access diylightanimation.com from internet explorer. It is also accessing an outside site call specialgt.com

It feels like a trojan is being added to my pc now since that hack.

Hi Ken


I am not seeing that on my computer(s). But if you have not already done it. Run all of your spy ware and antivirus programs.

Yet another good reason not to run IE...I hadn't seen this attempt, even over the weekend when the site was acting much wierder.

But then again, I run Firefox for my browser, and have Norton or another AV program on all my machines.

Good point Mark,

I am using firefox on windows and a version of it on Linux. The windows computer (wife's) has Micro Trend Internet Security on it.

P.S. Thanks RJ for working on the problem on your first day of school.

  • Change your thoughts and you change your world.
I use Avast and it gets rid of viruses and trojans. In fact - it prevents trojans from entering your system.

I noticed on Saturday that after I clicked on the login button that I just got a basically blank screen with a small black spot in the upper left corner.  I figured it had been hacked, but had no way to contact anyone.  I am using Firefox.

I had the exact same problem and was using Firefox also.  I thought it was something wrong with my computer.  Also couldn't access the Wikis.  The error message was something about not being able to modify the headers.

Accessing the page with IE now.  Have not tried the Wikis yet.

Yes,

Everyone had the same issues. It is not isolated to one person or the other. It was the web site. It is back up and working.  I have locked out the hacker for the moment and am working to secure up the site with the new patch to fix the issue.
