Rogue coder's attack takes F-List down

Furry roleplaying description site F-List is down after an attack from a disgruntled developer.

While the developer's SSH access had been removed, he regained access through a backdoor. The coder gave all users administrative rights, including access to email addresses and IP logs.

In a maintenance notice, F-List founder Hexxy urged calm:

F-List will be fine. The only interest we have is in bringing the site back up, and ensuring everything is secure. A former coder uses his access to F-List's servers to mess things up. No permanent damage has been done, but things are a little emotional right now. Don't do anything stupid, that doesn't help anyone, it just creates more damage.

Repairs to the site are expected to take at least two days, but a temporary copy is available.

Yeah, fixed just before you posted, but thanks. Hadn't had my morning cup of tea. ;-)

You shut down F-list, we shut down you. There are no walls for you to hide behind now.

Moderation note: Please keep personal information off the site. This isn't lulz.net.

Furries, why do they love going into the back doors so much?
