KillingtonZone.com

Our hosting provider picked up some "malware" on a scan they perform. Their immediate reaction to anything suspicious is to shut the site down (see attached screen shot). It turns out, our old/no longer supported "gallery" software is vulnerable to bots leaving comments on photos/albums. These comments contained links to malware sites. That was construed as our site hosting malware.

Once I was able to obtain access to our file system (Saturday), I zipped up and moved all the photo albums off the site. It then took me another day of working with our hosting provider to get them to do a clean scan and re-enable the site.

So, where are we now? The site is up and running, but there are no "legacy" photo albums.

I'll work to get the albums back on the site once I've confirmed there are no malware links/comments.

We need to upgrade the phpBB forum software soon, so expect future downtime (This will be announced and the forum will be replaced with a maintenance page).

Sorry for the downtime,
spanky

Thanks, Spanky!
Glad to see it up and running.

You da man!

you are indeed *the man*!

If you have photos hosted in our old gallery, please read this thread regarding it's removal...

KillingtonZone Gallery - END OF LIFE

Also, it appears our Tapatalk plugin is not working either. Once I upgrade the phpBB software (previously mentioned maintenance), we'll be able to re-enable Tapatalk.

My Taptalk and I don't know the software had been autofilling some bizarre words.

I used Bluehost for my now defunct grocery delivery site. Bluehost support was very, very good.

Tapatalk working now.

I never knew my KZONE withdrawal could be so strong, but it was along weekend, especially since I was in Colorado

Spanky, I'm sure you had better things to do this weekend, hope it didn't take too long to sort out.

Thank you so much Spanky for all the work you did and will do to keep this forum going. Sorry Skidork could not help but he was working for his regular job all day Saturday and at times through the night until Sunday afternoon.

Have to agree with you both . . . and, an additional thank you to you Spanky - you're the best

Thanks Spanky. Have a cold Vermont beer waiting with your name on it.
