Goot Morning from Germany,

 

I was just looking for detailed information on the f3.5 Summaron

when I noticed that the english Leica Wiki Pages seem to have been

hacked (see my attached screenshot).

 

Are people/ admins aware of this? Or is it merely a technical fault?

 

Best regards

This may be totally unrelated, but I noticed earlier this morning that the 'Buy & Sell' column was full of adverts for DVDs instead of cameras. It seems to be back to normal now though.

 

Nicole,

 

can you in such cases make a screenshot and send it to me via mail?

This is the fastest way to let me know and to fix that.

 

And just to be precise:

No, the Leica Forum and the server were never hacked.

These are only spammers who register and post via forum and wiki via the normal processes.

Bad enough but they never had control over server or forum software or access to any protected data.

 

Best regards from Bonn

And UP again...

 

Over the weekend i've taken some measures hoping they keep spammers away for a while:

 

  • New Wiki Software version
  • List of blocked IPs from know spammers
  • Black list of forbidden titles

 

If ou experience problems of see spammers on work, please let me know

 

Best regards from Bonn

Andreas
