Fingers crossed this passes quickly It wasn't a hack mate, the forum itself is locked down tighter than a Scotsman's purse strings. 6 hours ago, teddy875 said: I don't understand why RWI is the target of these hacks and the other sites aren't. (Not that I want anyone hacked). It almost seems personal like someone has a issue with RWI specifically. Best wishes to trailboss99 and crew getting it back up and running. Once again, this was NOT a hack. there was no security breach. As for why, we are the biggest target. He's given up trying to sell data he never had in the first place (he got nothing in the last hack as far as we can tell, he just buggered stuff up) so maybe he thought he could keep us down and extort us that way. 5 hours ago, Thommo82 said: Do you think they are directly targeting Replica watch sites? Or possible getting people’s email and personal details for identity theft purposes? Maybe they are just scum being scum This was a Denial of Service attack not a hack, the forum itself is locked down tight. Your data is now a hell of a lot safer at RWI than it is at Facebook (yeah, not hard I know). Share this post Link to post

trailboss99 994 Posted April 14, 2018 That last one was our hosts doing a backup and running us out memory, words will be had on Monday. Share this post Link to post
Hyjynx 2 Posted April 14, 2018 Why just RWI over and over again? why this attacker is not attacking other forums?That’s the million $ question. It’s not anger directed at rep fora generally, but a personal vendetta against RWI. My gut feeling is we might find our culprit in the Brig. Share this post Link to post

I noticed when RWI was down for the evening, TB. I can only wish you and your team the best in your endless efforts to keep the Site open and operating. I'm just sorry there's no way to track these bastards!! I'll wait, of course. GOOD LUCK. dave Share this post Link to post
