Website down
« on: October 03, 2021, 08:31:45 PM »
I just wanted to let everyone know that our website is down (Kibler's Longrifles).  We were told it was hacked by someone in Russia.  Apparently they have changed to where our website points to direct people to a spam sites.  The good news is that we have it sorted and it should be back within 24 hours.  So, I wouldn't suggest clicking on anything on our site until it is fixed.

Thanks,
Jim

You know you’ve made the big time when the Russians are hacking your site!

I just wanted to clarify that they did not access anyone's data or personal information except for ours. They accessed the web hosting site only and pointed our domains to their spam addresses.  They did not actually access the store website backend or any customer lists since those are not on the hosting site.

Welcome to the club, I had to take mine down also. I had a customer call me up one day and informed me that the link to my website was sending everyone to a porn site. So I had to shut it down. I am not savvy enough about websites to set it up to keep that from happening. Any suggestions?
