website issues resolved

[mattiejas]

We’re becoming popular. 😀

Our website has been apparently hammered with an attack that cloudflare didn’t stop. To prevent this from happening again, the admin area of the site is now behind a password. Hopefully that doesn’t break anything for anyone, except if you want to post something on the blog or upload some images, but only a few people have those rights anyway, and I will tell those the password.

If you would see issues accessing the site (e.g. logging in, posting on the forum, …) due to the new protection, please post a message on the crew wall on social club so that I am aware: https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/ethical_retinue

Too popular, we need to start culling. With every person that joins there is less spotlight for me, this obviously is not good for anyone in the crew.

U will soon be center stage don’t worry

What kind of attack?

[mattiejas]

Not sure. Looks like there were some issues with the password protection, folks got asked the password even when not going to the admin area. I’ve disabled the password protection again but installed a firewall plugin directly on wordpress. We’ll see how it holds up.
