printersdevil78 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 (And trust me, I received HUNDREDS of messages yesterday!!!) Ah, the price of fame!
Kennyweird Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Uh, I just go this weird message asking for "authentication". Sounds like phishing to me.
Wes Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Uh, I just go this weird message asking for "authentication". Sounds like phishing to me. Can you please elaborate on what you got, or possibly get a screenshot?
Em-Z Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 ^^ It just asked me for that too. It said something like "user authentication required" and asked for your username and password. It was in a little pop up box on a white background. I hit cancel and went back.
deathbydinn Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 I've having a problem with changing my password. When I go to the link i got in the amil and only enter the new passwords it says I need the other stuff, when I enter everything it says the username is taken. What do I do?
KDFAN Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 The authencation is a little box, i've embed a screenshot
deathbydinn Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 When did that come up for you? I got it once when I clicked videos but nothing happend when I clicked on forums.
robbalvey Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 ^ That is because CoasterTube is currently disabled with a password protected folder until the programmer has updated the security. It will only last a day or two. --Robb
robbalvey Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 I've having a problem with changing my password. When I go to the link i got in the amil and only enter the new passwords it says I need the other stuff, when I enter everything it says the username is taken. What do I do? Click on this link: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/profile.php?mode=register Enter the password that TPR gave you as the "old password" and your new password under "new password." Click Submit. The ONLY other thing you need to do is answer the Textual Confirmation question. I just tried it and it worked fine. --Robb
deathbydinn Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Thanks Robb. The site seems to be back to normal and running much faster than before! I don't see why those hackers think it's fun to destroy peoples work. Perhaps some TPR members should hack that site.... Anyway I also got the authencation box, this time it just popped up when I was browsing the forums. Other than that the site is great again!
broomy Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I hope they leave us alone now and highly doubt there's any chance of getting the hackers details as they're surely using a proxy or whatever it is that hides there real ip. Great to see us back and thanks for the freebies even if the flyers only make me wish I had the money.
Kennyweird Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I hope they leave us alone now and highly doubt there's any chance of getting the hackers details as they're surely using a proxy or whatever it is that hides there real ip. It really wouldn't be of any use even if you did. These hackers apparently live in Holland, and I sincerely doubt Holland's going to extradite these two over something as trivial as this. The best thing to do, and I'm sure Robb agrees, is to fix the security loopholes and move on...
MagicMountainMan Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Thanks Robb for the free stuff and the super speedy reply to my email! Long live TPR!
Ghost Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I'm back... Been a while since I posted here (still reading though), but with the hack and the PW change I thought it was a good idea to add something here... As such, I added something here
robbalvey Posted October 22, 2009 Author Posted October 22, 2009 I have deleted a bunch of threads and some posts. Once again.... IT IS NOT NESSECARY TO POST INFORMATION ABOUT THE HACKERS - WE KNOW ABOUT THIS! We are working on getting everything secure and back to normal. Please be patient. If you have any questions, please email me at robbalvey@themeparkreview.com Thank you. --Robb
tatertot3710 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 I'm just checking to be safe, but for most of yesterday, the site was down and everytime I logged in, I got the same message that I did when it was hacked. Around that same time, I got an email from 'robbalvey@themeparkreview.com' with some...uh...not very appropriate language and a link to their site. I did NOT press the link. I was just wondering if I, or anyone else needs a second password change. Thanks.
jose.pereira360 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Well Robb, I was talking with you yesterday by e-mail, and I thought it would be a great idea to come over TPR and comment about this... Well, I can't understand the reason why these hackers did this. I got soo stressed out yesterday when I found out about the hacking that I didn't stop thinking about it until I slept... Well, hopefully, no hacker will hack tpr again! Well, I don't know what else I should say...
KrautWithAltitude Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 There sure is some weird stuff going on these days... I got one of these fake emails too. It all looks to me like some random kid with nothing better to do gave Robb another crazy workload ( I guess it´s the guy who posted above me, I can smell irony in his post )
Tmcdllr Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Today I was already logged in to TPR and I clicked the coaster tube link, a small window opened saying TPR is asking for authentication and asked for my username and password which was odd because I was already logged on. I closed the window. Thought I would pass this on as it didn't seem right. Darn, I wanted to watch some POVs!
robbalvey Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 ^ Yeah, sorry about that. We are still getting CoasterTube online so we have it password protected so just the admins and the programmers can access it right now. We'll have it back up and running soon! --Robb
Tmcdllr Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Absolutely no problem Robb, no need to apologize I understand. That's ok, if I need my 'coaster fix' I have 3 RAW DVDs I can watch...lol. As soon as the next one comes out it is going into my collection. Is there a way to set up sort of an automatic billing/ship so as each new volume comes out I would automatically be billed and it would ship? If you could keep the price at $10 I would so do that!
jksorg Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 The thanks should be to the Alveys! You guys have probably been through a internet hell! We should be sending you the gifts. BTW, I've already nominated the hackers that hacked your site for the douche of the week for this upcoming episode of "In The Loop". Take care!
HowieP Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Changed it last night. Everything's back to normal on this end!
fdelhomez Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 I really want to thank you so much offering this video to us, I can't buy anything for the moment, It's amazing
