I want to put up a page at my friend's server that lists all the attacked sites.

I know that we are all getting loads of mails from members wanting to know where their accounts are.

The way things are looking, it may be days and days before things are back to normal.

I want to make a page that the sites that are still operating can direct members to, and also the forums can post a link to it.

Members who can't log in to their accounts can check the list first before bombarding the webmasters with mail.

Also, although this is not necessary to add to the list, it may be helpful to establish some sort of pattern if you will state what scripts the affected sites are running, and where they are hosted.

To help out the affected sites, I will add a banner to my banner exchange for each affected site, it doesn't have to be for your site, it can be anything legal and g-rated. These banners will run until we are back in business.

One last thing, should I put on the page that this is the result of an attacker, or should I say "technical difficulties"?

Cathy ,

Would still waiting for script upgrades count ?

LOL
Lexie, your site hasn't been attacked by whoever is doing this, but I'll do a banner for you just because you are active in my forum.

But Lexie, of course I can add a little note somewhere that you are waiting for the scripts.

*blush* Yeah I know and no banner needed . That's sweet though .

I just sorta feel that though no I haven't been attacked , I have to wait longer for the upgrades due to the pending repairs of the programs that have been attacked . Make any sense ?

I'm afraid that this situation probably will slow the progress on your scripts.
Poor John is getting very little rest. He's getting more and more behind on the "routine" stuff.

The ones i know of are:

tombmailer
coppercoins
moola4mail
money-snake
belgian-bucks
cashcauldron

not sure about

favor email

come on peeps, tell all sites you can think of, so we can help those webmasters.

E-mail Value
Cash Wage

I also know Dusty Gold Email is having same problem

I've got the page made and the list of sites begun.
Now I just have to find my server friend to get the page uploaded.
We'll update the list as we get more site names.
Keep posting.
And thanks for your co-operation!

Stick freeads on the list. Also their program QuickMLM. Got this the other day as reply to some ad copy I had sent them:



http://freeads.getpaidscripts.com

Site comes up, but going to login page results in "Unable to select datdabase"

Same with http://quickmlm.getpaidscripts.com

I did invite Driss to visit this thread.

Bepaidforemail

im not sure about super

and my egold- my whole years earnings

MoolaByMail is hit. My database is gone entirely and I STUPIDLY started my last backup before I noticed...so lost the last good backup I had

Nice idea... thanks Cathy!

Email Cash Frenzy
Email-Dollar
Texas2Bits
Click Buxx

Also add Pascale's Ad Emails and Lee-Anne's TheMailClub

We Paid also appears to be down..

WOW, the list just keeps growing and growing...

Just curious has anyone had any luck restoring thier back up and well.....it staying??????

The page will be online shortly

No, when people restore the backup, it disappears again.
And right now, John has disabled all the c-panels, so anyone hosted at mec can't try anyhow.

I feel so....HOMELESS.......
:ph34r:

I know......I have Both My Sites down

The page is up.

Keep posting new sites that you find out have been attacked so I can keep the list updated.

The banner offer is still good; affected sites are not able to sell any advertising right now, and that hurts. So send banners that will help you recoup a few losses.

To those of you who are still in action, PLEASE give your members a link to the page. (Those of us who are not able to contact our members are frantic!)

A very brief explanation is all that is needed, something like, "If you can't log in to your accounts at some of the other programs, please check this page before you email support".

Also, those of you who hang out at other forums, please post a link to the page at those.

Here is the link:

Problem Sites? Is that like "Problem Children" ?
OK OK , sorry , j/k *smacks hand * :c)

BTW , that was a nice thing to do for everyone , f&e !

Good job Cathy... thanks!

LOL
I didn't like that, but couldn't think what to call it.
Does anyone have a better idea? Please let me know!

Hope it's temporary but new program MentalEmails:

A CAC PHP site

Nothing from webmaster yet in inbox.

PS I did write webmaster and included link to here and the list

Just so you all know.....Mike at Mike's Paid Email....not only sent out the link but did it as a PAID Mail to all his members of well..

Wow... thanks Mike!

I've put a link to the site on all my websites.

Elite Email and LetterWealth are down too. Just asked Cynthia and she said LW was fine last night...

Thanks for adding the links, EMailCashFrenzy!
I added 3 more sites to the list (I think CashPO was hit by a different hacker, but nevertheless, they WERE hacked)

Can you confirm that Elite Email and LetterWealth were actually attacked?

Can somebody find out for sure if MentalEmails is also a victim?

Cynthia says Adult LetterWealth is also gone. She's not confirming or denying hacker just yet.

Add Dutch Emails *sigh*

I've got 27 on the list so far.

I'm going offline for a few hours, keep posting updates and I'll check in when I get home.

Mental is back online. They must have gone to backup as earnings/refs are not what they used to be. Have not received a reply to my email-may be lost in the "pile"


DutchEmails came up fine for me-everything appears normal there.

Hiya gang,


I'm the owner of MentalMails,

If you hang out at cashglow, you probably know me as FunDMental.

According to my friends at Lucidity hosting, This is more of a bug in the Cpanel software than a hacker.
I just spoke with lucidity again, and although my dbs are back up, and seem to be stable for the time being, we won't know for sure if they have the bug squashed till tonight.
I've been backing up my member dbs everyhalf hour, and filling s folder on my hard drive with them lol.

We were able to restore the dbs late sunday night only losing 30 members or so , But monday, it all fell apart again.

If you're a member of MentalMails, Your info is safely stored locally on my hard drive till I can be sure it won't disappear again.

Now back to the stack of angry member emails.

Thanks for the concerns wantum!

Rich c

YW Rich! Glad to hear we be OK!

Well spoke too soon I guess,

Just as things were starting to look good.
Everything went bye-bye again!

Thank goodness for backups!

I guess you may as well add MentalEmails to the growing list.


We'll keep plugging away at this mess.
Stay positive gang!

When it looks really bad, just repeat these words,

This Too Shall Pass.


Stay mental!

I feel like someone took my kids......with both my sites gone
My poor babies

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep and doesn't know where to find them.....

You're so gorgeous Cathy.

Thanks for the reference of sites that are down. I've received a number of emails from different sites with the link to the page you set up. You're a gem for doing this for everyone and deserve some praise for what you've done.

Oh, gosh....
Now I'm ALL embarrassed.....

Give credit where credit is due.

You're one of the best!!!! IMHO anyway.

I'm sure there would be others who agree with me.... but every time I make a post about you or your program, I just can't seem to find them.

I know they're out there....maybe they're just shy.

Add Tombmailer.com ( I have a back up and has been restore again), Tombmailer.net (everything is gone), and safelistzone.com (was saved thanks to a back up on my HD)


3x all at 3:45 AM!!

Site is restored please do not go the site and login or click the paid emails throw those away, when I send an email it will than be ok to go the site I am monitoring the Traffic in and out.

Cathy... please remove Email Cash Frenzy from the list. It's back up and I just sent the first email of the year.

COOL!!!

Bitzy sent me my new c-panel password, but I have no word on when I will be back up.

And (my ignorance is showing), I don't know how to upload my database. :ph34r:

How many times have I mentioned...I am not very technical....

Technical just ain't my middle name either. I've learned so much thru all this mess. First off, I was doing my backups (except for ECF cuz it's not MEC scripts) thru the admin area. Cynthia told me from now on to do them thru the cpanel so they can be easily uploaded. Secondly, I've learned that copying the backups to disk and deleting them off my hard drive wasn't as safe as I thought I was being. From now on I'll copy them to a CD and keep another one somewhere too. That way if one is messed up I'll have another one to fall back on. Learned too much too late but hopefully this will never ever be an issue for any of us again.

Here's another one and sent them a link to your site, Cathy - cmi for some praise too

They think the problem is with the host?
Do they not know what has been going on?
I wonder where they are hosted...

Thanks for sending them the link, Patricia.

http://www.iceberg-lettuce.com is down since 10days ago,
can you open?

Thanks for organising this Cathy .. it's great to know we all pull together when we are all in the poo!

I would like to thank ALL of those webby's that sent out ads with the information about our sites being down ... you are ALL the funkiest dudes and dudettes around!

I'd also like to point out that although TheMailCLub is back up and hopefully to stay ... I still cant send emails and havent been able to send any for about 6-7 weeks

Iceberg-lettuce is one of the victims
