Any time. Yes. PITA. I deleted all .ru accounts tonight. We had 7 bad Australian ip addresses going after the site as well as a Russian bot. All seems to be OK at the moment.

I must be an honorary Ruskie or Austrian as I can only access the site from work... :-(
Thanks for trying to get me unblocked DW. And I hope we can get this whole mess sorted out soon so TaT is back online.
Dane, are there exorbitant fees incurred because of these hacks that we need to donate a few bucks to help get tapatalk working again?
donations always help as we all benefit from using this site. :thumbsup
Also having members who "look out" for each other and are willing to give our moderators a heads up when accessing this site becomes difficult like it was yesterday will also help. We all have to watch out for each other :thumbsup
Thanks for the update boss, keep us posted
Thanks Shawn, i'm very familiar with the button. :)
is your site hosted locally at your house? with a static IP or is it hosted with a company like Bluhost?
did you see this article on applying a patch?

Thanks guys. Donations are greatly appreciated. I am in the process of moving zhpmafia.com on to a server by itself. It currently shares a server with markhandyphotography.com and peerlessfineart.com (now defunct). It's important that I segregate the site to a server by itself no more so than ever. I do not want my recent issues to affect Mark's consumer sales, nor would I want a hack on his site to slow our site (not likely). The fee for this is $79.00.
Unhack was hired to deal with current hack (@ $250.00) and they are currently narrowing down the issue.
Once all of these issues are corrected, I begin to think about getting Tapatalk up and running again.
The site server is hosted by SERVINT. I will also be hiring VBulletin Professional services to perform the install to 4.2.3 Patch Level 2. We are currently running with 4.2.2 Patch Level 4, and I believe that is where our security vulnerability is stemmin from.
I'll throw you some money soon...
