AmigaWorld.Net hacked

[Karlos]

Not only is AmigaWorld.net down, so is Aros-Exec.org.  I wonder if this has something to do with Xoops since both of those boards run it.

Hmm, aros-exec.org still resolves OK but it seems there's nobody at home there, either (no ping response, port 80 closed).

I can't connect to amiga-news.de or aminet.net either.

Same here.

Confirmed. Aminet also appears to be down.

Confirmed. Aminet also appears to be down.

i hesitate to say it, but os4depot.net is still up. i hope it doesn't go down now that i'm bringing attention to it.

this is either one heck of a coincidence or some pathetic little ponce thinks he's being impressive by bringing down a few retro-computing sites.

I'm trying to install OS3.9 on a real harddrive under winuae and I need to download files from Aminet to get going, I need the latest sfs and fixhdssize or hdinst. Is there anyone out there that knows where I can get these files if Aminet is down?

This is clearly an attack on Amiga. :angry:
There is one sick bastard on the loose out there somewhere!

A router must have gone down

They're on the same server. It was just a hiccup, both sites are working fine again.

Use irc.amigans.net for IRC.

Whew!  That is welcome news!  It was beginning to feel like 2012, the end of the world...

Wonder if the admins took it down to get to the bottom of the recent hacking issues?  Or, maybe it has been brought down somehow and not because they wanted to?

If admins takes it down. there's usually a static maintenance page they direct traffic to.

Has AmigaWorld been hacked again but this time the entire site? It's been offline since last night and according to Safari the server doesn't exist! :-o

What a hateful statement to make.  Guess haters have to hate.

Considering what I got in my inbox on commodore-amiga.org after pointing out my concerns regarding CUSA's claim on the long abandoned Amiga checkmark, I can only agree.
