Hi all,
Just thought id shoot out a quick apology to all those loyal HQ supports who have been missing our site since the recent attacks on our servers..
Im currently still patching and testing some security so please hang in there with me guys.... .. I always put in the hard yards as im sure you know but the last 2 days has been ridiculous with me getting something like 4hrs sleep in the last 48hrs.. I know i dont sleep that much but god.. ahahha
anyway, just hoping to keep your spirits up and let you all know im working on all issues right now... We will keep testing and patching until we are 100% secure..
Also, please try not to email me saying your login doesnt work until i can confirm the site is back at 100%..

Latest reports tell us..
here's some info from server security:
HQ Server Score: 61/64*
0 to 14 > Wet Paper Bag
15 to 29 > Dry Paper Bag
30 to 44 > Wooden Box
45 to 59 > Brick Wall
60 to 64 > Reinforced Concrete
Well I guess thats something, it looks like you make pretty regular backups so I hope you have not lost to much data hobbs or MySql got damaged to badly.
Haha, nicely put hobbs, _________________ JAy3k1

The most secure and rock solid servers for my own clients too..
Looks like we have won this time... No more hacking success.. lol
Its been a whole 24hrs since their last success but im feeling confident now.
