Late last night,I was using my phone to access the internet.I was trying to get on subsim but the page was taking ages to load and when it did appear I saw a Saudi flag and a message to say that I had been hacked.
My phone uses opera as its web browser and I think it had latched on to a neighbour's router to access the internet through the easy wi-fi app I have installed.

What was the message? "Your phone has been hacked"? And you're sure it was a Saudi flag (I wouldn't have any idea what that flag looks like). Has it happened again?

This is all I can find at the moment.

Neal,it said "you have been hacked by " then there was a name which was a combination of letters and numbers.As soon as I saw I it I left the page.It was definitely a green saudi flag.
The website airline pilot central.com also had a similar attack a while back.

Ok, thanks. I will run a security sweep, and also have my server tech do the same.
