Lightwave home page down

[Nicolas Jordan]

If you visit the Lightwave home page http://www.newtek.com/lightwave/ right now it just says this "Hi ADMiN ^_^". Looks like it may have gotten messed with. May have gotten hacked.

Probably the same guys who did this: www.newtek.com ?

The NewTek front page seems legit, however the LightWave page DOES NOT.

This is clearly someone trying to mess with NewTek now, the hacked forums and now this. Maybe a peeved user / ex-employee / LW competition?

Either way, it is no longer funny and I would LOVE to know who is doing this.

It is clearly a LightWave thing as no other part of NewTek.com has been touched, _just_ the LightWave page.

True... I just assumed that since both pages got updated it could also have been an server error. But that would have been reported differently - surely not with an "Hi Admin"...

[Matt]

I've made Jay aware of it.

[MooseDog]

uh-oh. root access is not a good thing!

as to what the page looks like, i'll take your word for it. i'm not going to click over to there, as it seems like a tailor-made situation for malware delivery.

[Hopper]

It works now.

[Nicolas Jordan]

Yep, looks like it's up now. Maybe it was an easy fix or they had a backup server or something.
