Beware: Hotelblogs.org Hacked!

May 19th, 2008 by Happy Hotelier

http://www.hotelblogs.org/

:: Hacked by Dengesiz Team :: via kwout

Update May 20, 2008
In order to prevent confusion: Hotelblogs.org is not my site. I was checking it out and found this screen. Whatever it means this Turkish group wants to achieve. It seems the site owner is sound asleep. Also I wanted to share me finding Kwout which is a nice little thing to create screenshots and is now available as an add on for FireFox.

And they are back online fixed and all and only after one night’s sleep:-)

    Hi Happy Hotelier,

    Thanks for the post… we’re aware of the issue and are now working on a fix.

    It’s a pity that hackers take the time to target hospitality and travel sites / blogs too, despite no possible financial gain. The SEO exploits are understandable though but still totally unacceptable.

    We’re guessing they’ve exploited vulnerabilities in Wordpress - hoping to have the site back to normal soon.

    Rgds, Hotelblogs.org
