MCB is gone

[Mag-Convert]

Was trying to get onto MCB yesterday with no luck and had the same issue today. Logged onto the facebook page and come to find out that the site pretty much got deleted. And to think 2020 couldn't get any worse

Wow, I can't get in right now either. Wonder if it was by mistake? Loved that forum.

Me neither. I really hope it's a temporary thing. I've got a bunch of orders lined up for my SPAR valve, and MCB is the only way I know how to contact those people.

Supposedly they changed hard drives and it messed stuff up. Carter is out of town and going to see what he and the server company can do when he gets back.

Does that make AO customers front of the line?

If this is the case lemme know, I think I'm next for ao members, I can ship out asap

So, I heard over on the facebook page that it was a hacker who deleted the site and now has all of the data for ransom, crazy stuff

Sad loss of decades of accumulated knowledge - can't believe they had no backups :-(

Checked and double checked the logs. They didn't get into the server via hacked passwords or traditional methods. Definitely a hole in the software.

So in lies the problem. Have backups, but can't just slap back up the software that they hacked.

Put on the latest and greatest software with no issues onto a new server that we also know has not been compromised. We are good now. Now comes the task of trying to import some of the old stuff, but safely and carefully. Have to go through it to make sure nothing in it is wrong also. Can't poison the new server nor do we know when it all truly happened.

Makes sense but sucks to have possibly lost all that archive of information for sure. Hopefully they'll be able to find the attack vector and patch it so things can be restored.
