Now one question remains... did you take care of the vulnerability so it doesn't happen the same way again? :3

hello all...I just joined this site and donated two days ago...this is a great site and everything was working wonderfully, but this morning I started getting the things everyone was saying they had gotten earlier, where the header line errors came up..and when you click the download button all the computer code shows up and makes your memory jump up to a gig and then crashes your browser...just giving you a heads up

It seems to work for smaller downloads for some reason...but I keep having that problem in the PSX section

I am on it right now, will have the downloads working in a few minutes. I fear that this is a rival site that is attacking us.

Hold tit and it will be working within 15 mins.

Malware is now sorted and the downloads are working. I have remved all other ftp access until i can determine whice ftp account is compromised. All should be good for the time being.

Download away there is no malware now.
