Patrick Cox Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I haven't been able to access the OZx site since early last night. Keep getting a message that the site is unavailable. Even tried emptying the cache as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Cox Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Apparently it has been hacked. Message from Jae Kay on page says site has been compromised and he is working on it but has limited time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Where did you read that Pat, since we can't access the page, have you got a link for some more info. Hope Jay has a recent backup database, once he isolates the source. Gotta feel for him as he runs a tidy operation. He's probably taken the site offline to load the backup, and reindex, it may be a while. Chin up Jay, we'd help if we could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Maybe this can act as a reminder for us to consider this product once again...: http://www.flightsimstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=1332 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Thanks Gerold, Done! , what a superb product indeed. No trouble whatever, installation a breeze, FPS (FunPerSecond) off the scale, benefits incalculable. But Jay is only one Batman, he needs a cast of Superheroes.

There was a message on the top of the page saying that the site has been compromised and Jay was working on it, although time was an issue in getting things back. I could only see the message from my mobile device. My other pc didnt show it. It reads: "OZX has been compromised. I am working on things but I am time restricted in doing so, so please be patient.

caleb1 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 The hacker must have made it's way over to FS Files now too. At least my previously posted screenshots still show up in this forum. I just can't upload any more because I cant get to their site. I will use Imgur till FS Files is back up. Hopefully all this is not as bad as the Avsim hack way back in 2009. https://www.avsim.com/AVSIM Pages/more_on_the_hack.html/ https://www.avsim.com/AVSIM Pages/more_on_the_hack.html/ Caleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Banks Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 It's been hacked before - and JK's always managed to get it up and running again fairly quickly (bless his cotton socks!). Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teecee Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Not being unkind, but to be honest it probably comes down to money, as Jay usually asks for assistance when this sort of thing occurs, and generally he got a good response..This time the site is totally down, so he cannot even ask for help, and we cannot post said help as it was always done through his system.. He may not even to be able to read this site, so If anyone knows more about this matter please let us know and perhaps we can get some help in setting up a fund. Teecee.

Stillwater Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I miss the OZx site nearly as much as you may, TeeCee. So I follow this thread here, and... 6 minutes ago, teecee said: perhaps we can get some help in setting up a fund. ... I just visited http://www.flightsimstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=1332 and did my thing. If it helps Jay finding some more time to get OZx running, good. Even if not he has deserved funding for all the pleasure we have had in the past, say, 14 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I would be happy to join you in this mate, but The FSS appears to have problems too.. If this is not so, and FSS will confirm that the donations will go to Ozx I will gladly donate. Teecee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
