OntarioPathfinders has been hacked

[Mergy]

Hey Ontario, hopefully you came here when you noticed our website is down. We've been hacked, but we don't think it's anything more than a prank. It seems fairly harmless, but it'll probably take a few days at least to get the website back on. Don't panic, games are still ongoing at 401 and Dueling Grounds, and we're working on bringing back our website.

Unfortunately, advance signup is going to have a few problems. I'm not sure what we're doing about that yet.

What a random website to hack. Must be someone who is into pathfinder or other table tops/rpg's.

Just caught this as well, and I'm currently fishing through what I have access to in the WordPress. Everything seems intact; I'm guessing it is just some bothersome type of redirect.

I've texted Jeff, although he probably won't get the message until morning. He can contact his web hosting and they can likely fix the problem.

From the hacker's twitter (can you believe the gall?), this is a very quick fire-and-forget kind of thing. He's hacking a lot of different sites every few minutes, just moving from one to another.

I hope it's easy to fix; if not, I propose the temporary measure of posting our schedule here and having people PM the organizer to reserve a spot.

Fixed. He just overwrote the index.php file, and it was a simple fix.

Luckily, I have automatic backups every few days - even if a hacker manages to do more damage than simple inconvenience, most of our archives would be spared and recoverable.
