The site now specifically states: "Hacked by RandomRedditor – For FSL crime against customers and internet communities"

Wow people really have nothing better to do?

 

Just want to point out it wasn't me. I don't own any FSL products and have no knowledge of how to even do such a thing

I agree Dave.

just as I thought that 319 was going to come out. hopefully they will get their website back running properly.

They claim to be in possession of client data and serial numbers...if that's true and they gonna release it to the public...oh dear, not much imagination is required to predict how this is going to end

Damn, this whole thing has escalated quickly 😕

"Hacked by RandomRedditor – For FSL crime against customers and internet communities"

And... to probe our point, lets hack such user's data and threat to expose it... /s

Makes me feel ashamed that i share a hobby with a person so despicable to carry this out. If you are reading this, i hope to see you behind bars in a not so distant future.

Kind of puts the mass hysteria and toy throwing that we witnessed in these forums and others into perspective, doesn't it?

I'm more worried about the fact that sensible customer data has been "protected" using easily exploitable security methods....The A319 is going to be their least problem at this time

data such as email addresses or credit card numbers ?

No CC information, as the vendor shouldn't have possession of it (its with the payment provider) and this information is encrypted

However, as they have a customer verification check on their forums, i suspect the hackers got hold of forum user data including serial numbers. Not such a big deal as you are required to user your full name as forum name anyways...

They would have to re-issue new serial numbers and block the compromised ones, but if i recall correctly they are registered in Greece....they may be in GDPR hell now...

I can't even access the download section of the site.  That means I can't get liveries for the A320.  Wonder if I should delete the A320 from my computer.

And right on the eve of the Expo. too.

Well that's just a guess, i dont have any more information than everyone else, but i would be surprised if the hackers got access to actual e-sale data, as thats usually much better protected. 

Yes, thats because of GDPR 😉 In a nutshell, its a whole bunch of laws and directives based around protection of data, with major focus on citizen data. Every business within the European Economic Area (not just the EU) has to obey to these laws.
