Yep, they were attacked by hackers!
They are back online now. Here's the message: Hackers Attack Forex Factory! On Sunday April 15, 2007, at around 11:00am ET, one of Forex Factory’s servers was compromised, enabling an attacker to target our visitors with a Trojan Horse virus by deploying an ActiveX control into our web pages. To avoid spreading this virus, the Forex Factory site was brought down as soon the issue came to our attention, at around 12:30pm EST. Later, we restored the site under password protection to investigate the issue, which is why many users experienced an authorization rejection. While most users report that the virus was blocked by their antivirus software, it is possible that during the hour and a half that the site was contaminated and operational, some users may have been infected with a Trojan Horse virus. The symptoms of this virus are a spotty internet connection and erratic web browser behavior. If you believe that you have been infected, please contact us and we will provide immediate support. Any users who visited the site anytime between 8:00am ET and 1:00pm ET is encouraged to update their antivirus software and run a complete scan to ensure their computer’s security. Other than some users possibly being infection with this Trojan Horse virus, we have not found any other issues created by the hackers. We have made the necessary patches and we will continue to closely monitor the situation. To ensure that our servers are completely free from the virus, we have rolled the site back to April 15 at 2:00am ET. Any posts made after that time have unfortunately been lost. We are deeply sorry for this issue. We can assure you that we continue to take the highest precautions when it comes to the security of the website. If you have any questions or need any assistance, please contact us. |

So they are being hacked again (thus the safeguard is engaged). Obviously someone overseas doesn't like FF! It must be morning in China and Russia. Why can't hackers focus their time and skills on useful things? |
