February 18, 201214 yr Went to the Milviz site this morning to read the forums and it appears to have been hacked!some group called "Learners of Curiosity"...Anyone else encounter this? I was there just last night and all seemed fine!Seems that a large group has taken them over. I found their twitter and they have said that they have seized many other domains. I don't think this hacking was a personal attack on MilViz but rather a large random selection of popular websites.

February 18, 201214 yr Commercial Member I know hackers are looked upon as despicable....But seriously sometimes I want to just hack these guys back and seriously screw their lives up so good and proper that they will wish they never had a computer....or better yet that they werent even born. Just so they can get a taste of their own medicine.

February 18, 201214 yr Lets just hope that Milviz is back up and running soon. Spreading stereotypes won't help them for sure.

February 18, 201214 yr Zack! What are you doing with your hands in Aaron's mouth? :( Stop that! Seriously, it is a criminal act to damage a business like that.Kind regards,Lol! But in seriousness I know some developers at Milviz and I know how they are feeling right now. I really hope they get it fixed soon.Aaron G. PMDG Boeing 737NGX Captain
February 18, 201214 yr On a more serious note, if you accessed this site, or any other site you suspect was hacked, make sure you run a complete virus scan on your system. The hackers may have left you an unwelcome surprise!! Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
February 18, 201214 yr Commercial Member Actually, it appears that whomever is hosting their servers has been hacked. It's not just milviz.com that's compromised.A hack at that level is significant. Ed Wilson Mindstar AviationMy Playland - I69
