I have no where to quote this information as it is my personal quote. Ahhoy has been hacked into.... I received 180 emails today telling me they had been hacked and cursing.... Some how they have took over my mail and have been trying to request for my password from my paypal, and anypay accounts and ARE CANCELLING MY PAID TO READ ACCOUNTS!!!!

You might want to check for viruses the email sent had virus attachments
It will attack your Media player first at least it did mine I already posted at a few of the other forums good luck letting everyone know

How did you find out that they were into your accounts?

all people that hack are fags........i mean why the heck do people do it?

i just got 50 messages from them. WHat the hell is happening?

I've just tried to go to their site and got this:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in /home2/ahhoy/htdocs/PaidMail/includes/vars_commission.php on line 24

Also, replying to wolf, I don't see a virus - maybe my norton anti-virus blocked it. Don't you have virus protection?

Ahhoy hacked? that was fast
They just launch their program and they got hacked.

Are they been hacked, or are they a scam to get your info to your Paypal and all that to steal your money? Hackers sometimes set up traps like these sites to snare victims.

How could they steal money from your paypal account if all you gave them was your paypal email address? They might be trying to steal email addresses though, or they could have just got hacked.

One way, they use your e-mail account and used ti to hack into Paypal to try and steal the money that way.

Boy am I glad I didn't join this one.

I've just been back on their site and it looks to me like they're trying to repair it.

There's a load of gobbledygook warnings on the frontpage and you can't log in, but at least the MGH Hacking GROUP have gone.

By the way, I'm sure a lot of people here know what the warnings are but they are meaningless to me.

I still wouldn't go to the site or try to login unless the webmaster / webmistress gives the all clear. I think there are some big security holes that need to be patched up.

This is how Green Hurricane got hit. The hackers left too much damage where it is not even salvagable. Same thing can happen to Ahhoy as well.

I'm with Bonnie, sure glad I didn't join this one also!

No they are not a scam, I had been working with the owner to get the site. Now I am seeing what I can do to help him, and get his reputation repaired. David is a VERY nice guy and was absolutly in shock when this happened. It is NOT his fault there was a hugish security hole in the scripts. Most webmasters know this.
I understand that when something like this happens, especially when the owner is absolutly unknown, that it is easy to wonder if it is a set up, a scam.
Jumping to that conclusion however is all too easy, and for some the first thing they DO is scream scam.

I guess I would have felt a little better about it if he had somehow even if he had to send through other webmasters given an apology. Regardless if it was his fault or not it was his program. But I guess the silence is what makes people weiry. Most webmasters send mail through other webmasters when things happen their fault or not.
