KCE Website Back Up – “SQL Injection Hack” From Foreign Country To Blame

Copied!

I didn’t change my name to Jimmy Chen, and I didn’t sell my website to “Daily Scoup.” Instead, Kenosha County Eye was hacked early Sunday morning and the site appeared strange and all links went to Daily Scoup. Thank you to the many calls, emails and texts that you sent to me notifying me of this.

Alderman David Mau, a friend to transparent and accountable government, got to work Sunday afternoon and cleaned up the hacked files. Just before 3 pm, the site was back up.

I learned from this attack and now have a powerful firewall and anti-virus on the server for KCE. Hopefully it won’t happen again.

It would probably be helpful to not have Mr Chen able to post here, especially not links which are no doubt harmful. Maybe people from PP who are in danger of going to prison said his name three times to summon him. ?
