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. http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/ca...et-hacked.html |

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

In my browser history I found "Hacked by alM511".If you google alM511 it comes up with a lot of sites that have been attacked by him.

Ah, ok. I was checking for Sorb511 or something. I'll look for this too. Nothing so far.

So far nothing here shows up as a problem. If the server was hacked, it would be persistent. The server tech who is working on this asked me to ask you:
When your visitors experienced this problem do we know which exact page they were on when it happened? (i.e Forum, the main index, one of the sub-sections etc) It might help us narrow it down if there actually is a problem. Of course it could also be a javascript that been carried over from another site.

I highly doubt that this is an issue with subsim. With people visiting the page 24/7, I'm sure someone else would've noticed it aswell.

I seem to remember I was on the opera mini book mark page and then selected the radiorooms page from my bookmark list.Normally when I am connected through a router the page loads quite quickly but this time the page was slow to load and I got the hacked page. The problem page has not reoccurred.

I saw a story on the television news tonight about an attack on twitter.The image the attacker used was very similar to the one I saw when this site was attacked.
