WTF is up with LocalArcade???
mahuti:
Well, it only took 5 hours, but I upgraded the software with a new version the features a lot of security fixes. I don't know if it'll help, but at least I gave it a shot.

Alright, you'll be happy to know that I DID dump my logs and find what appears to be the "lil bastard." His IP happens to attach to a Turkish Internet Provider, which I've since banned. The Turkish flag not so coincidentally appeared in the hack job which makes me believe that this is indeed the smoking gun... not to mention all of the odd POST operations by that IP address to places that there shouldn't be POSTS to. At least not by anybody but me.
I also happened to fire off a nasty email to the not-so-third-world country's internet provider.
Will it help? I don't know. If any of you have an issue connecting to the site, please post here so I can take a further look.
Santoro:
Who is your provider? Please say it's not 1&1? :)

Glad to see the site back up again ;D I may have to update my forum since seeing this it seems weird attacking the arcade art library... maybe his Mame cab went badly :dunno

Man I know how that feels...
Back when I had a Homepage for a Martial Arts school I was running in Michigan, some F-n' b@stard posted an advertisement to his pornsite in our guestbook, then hacked and changed the admin password to it so we couldn't erase his post.
Considering 80% of our clientel were 10 year olds, you can see the sheer wrongness of it.
Took me a while and a 2 stage hardware server firewall to calm down from that one.
