What brought about the maintenance if not attack from hackers?

site got attacked But did they succeed? No. If they had, punch won't have access to it to post that message. If you hack a site, you have total control and the owners can't do anything.

Right now, punch is fortifying their defenses. The sight is not hacked.....it is down for maintenance.

the hackers attacked it But did not succeed So PUNCH themselves brought it down for maintenance. If you hack a sight, you have total control and the owner is locked out.

zombie, tech news are not your forte, are they?

Don't worry, I'd put you through as much as I can. The website was brought down So punch could fortify their defense mechanism. Big sights perform seasonal checks. not a big deal.

Sorry punch.
Re: Website Of Punch Newspaper Finally Hacked by bigtt76(f): 2:05pm On Dec 03, 2015
Hahaha ....once posted on Nairaland was the GTBank newly built website with the developer requesting for comment. Loh and behold, it still has the Admin URl visible to those who knew how to maneuver round.

Same thing I guess happened to Punch ....the developer may have left behind the bane of most corporate websites today if not properly supervised by the owners. No amount of patch released by the CMS owners could stop this from being exploited undecided

thank you sir for impacting me with your knowledge. Odediran must be your surname sir.
Re: Website Of Punch Newspaper Finally Hacked by bigtt76(f): 2:51pm On Dec 03, 2015
Naaah ...sites like Punch and other online newspaper sites are actually more suited for CMS platforms rather than custom-developed but then security should always be the watch word. CMS are well secured because they get patches regularly so they are protected from the silliest of all mistakes such as SQL Injection etc but not secured from lapses created by developer in using them such as leaving visible online the admin folder to be exploited.

And you say you own a website?

This is preposterous.
Most hackers bro don't bother changing your login credentials. Most often than not, they don't even compromise a site via that route.

Nah bro. if the hack was to steal details, then they would go in as stealthily as they could. But if it is as a form of protest, just like IPOB are claiming, then the hackers must show themselves and show that they actually hacked the sight. Anonymous would display their death mask logo. That is the way it works sir.
