Hutton Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Many thanks to Ben and everyone else who worked into the wee sma' hours to sort this out. It's just as well as I was getting withdrawal symptoms. My hands were beginning to shake, breaking out in cold seats. I'm now back on an even keel. The world makes sense once more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 My boss asked me to pass on her thanks for letting me do half a days work yesterday. Ive just told her normal service has now been resumed and to shut the door on the way out. Good work guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well we would have been OK but there was a microscopic fault in the software which was exploited and used to create the problems... I have no idea how or why they do this type of thing but us bass players are made of stronger stuff so a patch is being developed for the hole right now. Then we SHOULD be super safe.

Ou7shined Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Nice work guys. On the ball as always. I actually thought for a while that I'd been excommunicated (because of some "rebelliousness activity" in the face of some "Untouchables" lately) when I wasn't getting any bassy emails. Actually it was kind of cool not having literally hundreds of emails cluttering up my inbox for a change... remember like it used to be before the "THE CHANGE". I think I might unsubscribe from a few more areas now and give my inbox a well deserved break. Edited May 18, 2012 by Ou7shined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Nice work in sorting this out guys, hope you've got beers lined up for yourselves this weekend. If it makes you feel better, I had a UPS blow up in my face yesterday just as I was going to leave work. Not nice seeing the entire server room power down abruptly! I don't even work in IT, I'm on the web team and only popped my head around the door to say bye to our IT guy. Ah well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks to all those involved it putting the site right..I felt lost without it.. Your work is much appreciated..worth every penny that I pay..I just remembered..IT'S FREE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks for all your hard work to get Basschat up and running. It might be worth letting the paranoid of us know what malware we were potentially exposed to and what it was supposed to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Incidentally, the warnings seem to have cleared themselves out - I'm not getting any red alert page now, despite using the same toolbar bookmark as before and not clearing my cache.

[/quote] It didn't manage to do anything because we're zipped up tight and everything is secure, luckily. I don't know what it's intended mission was but it certainly wasn't to access anyones information or muck around with any settings which is a stroke of luck. Ben will be able to tell us more.
