Talkgold Hacked !
16/03/2004
I can now confirm that an unknown hacker/cracker was able to break into the Talkgold Forum Admin, and send a spam email via the Mass Mailer function.
After sending thousands of emails to unsuspecting TG members, promoting a HYIP that obviously lacks any ethics whatsoever, the thief then proceeded to the delete the entire Talkgold Database from the servers, resulting in the downtime experienced by so many frequenters of the TG site.
Fortunately, TG Admin has maintained an adequate back-up system, that enabled TG servers to be restored with minimum data loss.
Talkgold Admin also engaged technicians in bolstering Admin security so that further incidents of this nature can be repelled.
