Many on here will be familiar with Salut! Sunderland and it appears they are having a problem with a hacker at the moment. https://salutsunderland.com/2019/09...ox-from-an-ultimately-shaky-win-over-mk-dons/ "Readers will know we have been experiencing technical problems caused by a malicious redirection of certain of our pages to a scummy Turkish escort site. Salut! Sunderland is now more secure (at a hefty price) but neither that, nor as much self-help and professional cleansing as we have been able to do without further expenditure, has rid us of this Turkish blight. When a page redirects to Istanbul – as happened with Sixer’s Sevens after the MK Dons match and this full report by our deputy editor Malcolm Dawson – we are excluded from the invaluable headline-grabbing newsnow.co.uk site and the number of readers plummets alarmingly. Reposting, while irrtating for readers who have already seen the relevant item, has been known to help. So we are today republishing Malcolm’s outstanding analysis in the hope it may avoid the vulture-like attentions of our friends from the east and attract the audience it deserves. A full professional clean-up to eliminate (maybe!) the bug would be too expensive so if anyone knows a SAFC-supporting IT wizard who would be happy to do it for a pittance, please say so …" Anyone who can help please contact M. Salut (Colin Randall) at [email protected] For anyone who hasn't visited the site, you should pop over and see what you think - its well written articles are a joy to read.
not sure who/what the 'more secure' means...but paying good money for someone to secure the site yet they effectively 'lock in' the problem is poor practice...first objective should have been to clear the problem once it was found how it originated.
I'm certainly not someone who is in a position to comment from a position of knowledge. It seems though that you can so please get in touch with Colin, if you feel you can help.
not a fan of following someone else into a job like that, have done a few in the past and it is simply not worth the effort...not knowing what the previous person(s) have added/removed/cleaned makes a quite difficult job into a format
