@Ken Gilliland I went to your website for the manual on creating a Macaw and your site has been injected with something. It redirected me to a scam site, I just thought I'd let you know! Guess I'm going to have to wait to use my bird, haha!

The website is okay now... I reloaded the entire site last night.... it was hacked a couple days ago (a little unnerving because I was very complicated passwords). The hacker was pretty clever, adding some JS to select HTML files. the code was written in such a way that it would only sometimes redirect the user to a scam site and would never do that for me (so I wouldn't notice).... in any case the website is safe now and I'll be checking it daily to make sure it stays that way.

btw... the pdf manual is in your product download zip... look in the readme/ken gilliland/ subfolder

Glad you managed to sort it without too much damage. I do wonder about the mentality of the sort of people that do this sort of thing.

As for mentality, I don't think it was a personal attack against me-- I'm guessing some script, through blunt force, unlocked my ftp server and then another script was written to add the code to every html file on site. Their goal was to remain undetected by only randomly hijacking a page now and then. Last night after, TaishoBee's post I checked my ftp server and some of the html files. My antivirus (bitdefender) immediately detected the hijacked page as something I shouldn't go to. I'm sure, continuing on, despite warnings, to the hijacked page might have introduced malicious code-- so I'm sorry to anyone who ventured that far.

It is surprising to me that anyone would spend the effort they did to hack my site considering it usually has very little traffic on it.

Update 11/12/17: I found how I got hacked about a week ago and thought I would pass along the information... if you own/rent a router make sure it has the latest firmware in it. There's a a wave of hacks (such as KRACK) on vulnerable areas on routers (particularly with ASUS routers) and android phones (w/OS 6+) over the last 6 month . Uploading the latest firmware will solve these problems.

I was thinking the same thing as I was reading your post. I can see something like that being tried on a busy site, but folks probably don't go to your site unless they're redirected to it, say from our forums, or your store here at HW.

Could be, like the hack on HW a few years back, just a random one. They weren't targeting us specifically either.

A number of years ago, the same thing was done to my old gallery site. Now come on ... I had very few visitors to that site. Which makes me wonder just who has the time to wander around randomly to little known (unknown) sites just to play havoc with a few people. Makes more sense that it might be an evil robot, rather than a person, wandering around.

I found out about it when Google blocked it as unsafe.

It may be random but someone, somewhere down the line has to get this thing started without any care on the damage it might do and where. I still don't get the mindset.

I keep duplicates of all the files on my server. Couldn't you just delete the infected page and upload a new one? Or am I missing something obvious?

Oop. Never mind, just read the previous post.
