It appears Mods.dk was hacked recently;

I'm very sorry to inform you that a hacker for about 1 day ago have had success to upload a script to mods.dk, and run the script. Which information the hacker has stolen is not possible to see at the moment, but the most sensitive information that you have placed on mods.dk is your email address, and password that you are using to access mods.dk. If you have made money donation all information about your credit card/payment method, has been handle by PayPal, and this information is never been transferred to mods.dk.

Your password is encrypted in the database, so the hacker cannot read your password direct, but the hacker can try to compare the encrypted password with a password they try, and with a computer they can compare many password in a sort time.

So I will recommend you to change your password on mods.dk and if you are using the same password other places also change the password there. Use always different password every places.

The hacker have upload a picture and then they have execute the picture and it has create a script they could execute. So by an consequence of this, upload of pictures and files is only allowed when you have been approved. I will approved all existing users that already have uploaded pictures and files, but in case you don't have permission, then just contact mods.dk.

I'm sorry for this trouble but I hope you still want to support my site, this site is only a hobby project just like my amateur radio, and my resourced are limited. If you want all your data deleted form mods.dk you can go to “my account” and said that you want to be deleted.


Best regards
