More like one of the scruffy fookers in the sleeping bags tried to log in to the site and forgot his password and boom! Security alert! Or he left his phone in Bargain Booze when he got back to Cov.
If they have the IP address then its no hacker, if they know how to hack a website they would certainly know how to hide their IP address.
I can turn my VPN on it show i'm in Spain but really i'm sat at home watching City on iFollow!
Have they said what the IP address is?
They are saying there was no breach or anything due to the "safeguards".
They said web site & survey didn't they? As you said, it's likely the email is on a different server, so maybe that's been hacked, and email addresses, passwords etc ??
If nothing happened why the need to apologise for the inconvenience?They are saying there was no breach or anything due to the "safeguards".
If nothing happened why the need to apologise for the inconvenience?
The survey is anonymous anyway isn’t it?
The survey was also on a different server to the website / email hosted by a company called Zoho.
So, email information may be compromised, but the web site and survey not? Doesn't that tie in with what they said? I'm trying to understand why you seem to be questioning this??
I know Zoho, it's a well used Company for lots of things, email, CRM etc. Used it myself.
The Sky Blue Trust website and email system has been subjected to a cyber attack over the last few day
We apologise to members and other contacts who may have suffered inconvenience as a result of this incident.
However we can reassure members that our website and the survey have been protected due to the safeguards we have in place.
The origin of the attack has been traced to an IP address based in the Kensington area of London.
No, but go on....You know that episode of the IT Crowd where they think a box is the internet?
Their department ends up outsourced to Rugby. Hell of a swerveNo, but go on....
Says it has been handed to the police although I am not really sure what the police are going to do about it?
It's a bit strange.
Very strange.Says it has been handed to the police although I am not really sure what the police are going to do about it?
It's a bit strange.
Because they said nothing had been compromised but there was inconvenience for people.
It doesn't add up.
The statement says:
So, it's the website and email system....
Then they say:
But follow on with:
So if they have "safeguards" in place which protected against whatever they say happened, what inconvenience was there?
To translate that, it looks as if they have had some sort of "invalid login" alert or something like that.
Then you have this:
This has clearly been said for obvious reasons, how did they trace the origin of the attack to here exactly?
Then they say it has been reported to the police, what do they genuinely think the police are going to do? As I pointed out, websites will have hundreds of things in log files of bots trying to get up to no good, you don't phone the police about them all.
They say the web site and the survey had safeguards in place, not the email system. I read it as email addresses of members and contacts may have been compromised, hence they could get "inconvenienced"
Although we're discussing specific wording that the trust have put out, which isn't always a good idea...
I don't know them personally so don't quite share the same view on them but i would say that is exactly what has happened in one of them using an open wifi connection. If they release the IP address i can easily find the source so not sure why its top secret.some moron from the sky blues trust has logged onto a shops free wifi and thought I know what I can do here!!!
The trust are a joke and do not represent my views. bunch of clowns!
I am sure CJ or somebody else from the Trust will clear it up soon.... They won't have made a statement especially to make people think that SISU were trying to hack them, would they?
It's laughable really.
I would hope not.
It appears likely that this malicious act was designed to disrupt the collection of supporters' views on future ground arrangements.
You couldn't if it was via VPNI don't know them personally so don't quite share the same view on them but i would say that is exactly what has happened in one of them using an open wifi connection. If they release the IP address i can easily find the source so not sure why its top secret.
In which case how are they saying it originated from Kensington?You cou
You couldn't if it was via VPN
exactly, its nonsense lol. VPNS usually falsify location as well as hiding the original. Unless somebody has deliberately made it look like Kensington, which is a possibility.In which case how are they saying it originated from Kensington?
Them naming the location is pointless. I'm sat in Coventry now but my head office is in London. If i go onto iplocation.net it shows i'm in London at the head office.exactly, its nonsense lol.

Yeah exactly. There's 4 scenarios. 1 SISU tried to hack them and didn't hide the fact. 2 Somebody tried to hack them via VPN and it coincidently showed as Kensington. 3 Somebody tried to hack them and it was deliberately made to look like Kensington. 4 SBT are full of it.Them naming the location is pointless.

Hopefully named AbramovicMust be the Russians!!!
