 As of 4-29-08 the SQL server was brute force hacked causing the system to completely crash and get corrupted. This was due to exploits not in our own systems but because of a member who had admin but also had a virus or spyware on their system. Because of this we are adding new security measures in place so this does not happen again. If you are prompted for a password it will be the same used in teamspeak this is to make brute forcing harder. All members that have access to the "admin panel" will be REQUIRED to have and use the program Ad-Ware and Spybot search and destroy or you will not get admin access. The site has been restored but most of the data was lost so it will have to be re-added. I am asking all members to chip in on this you do not need any website experience the entire system is user friendly and you simply point and click the same as MS word. All the users will need to be re-registered but this time we will be adding them manually. This gives us the opportunity to update our charts and to get all the users back in place. Please visit this page: http://gomaco.net/join and follow the email steps at the bottom. Also note that the site is no longer public even for a limited extent you will have to login before you can even see anything. Do not be an idiot and not use internet protection M.A.C.O. will even provide you will a full blown internet security system if you wish and do not think windows vista is immune. The person who hacked the site has been tracked and the information has been forwarded to General Kris who in real life is United States Army Military Police who will be investigating the situation and since this server is used for several military people he can openly press charges under the uniform code of military justice on the person who hacked the server if they are in the United States. For the record we do not believe this to have anything to do with Rome and the clan war, this problem started about 3 weeks ago with a member getting a virus. Thank you for your understanding and please follow the steps I said above. If you wish to help rebuilding the site please contact me. - Commander Scott Daedaelus
