Hey all, I noticed that all of a sudden the traffic to my site stopped. the url is www.funzac.com I have checked it many times and it was working normal. Then I decided to check it through a proxy site, and I saw that once I typed the address, a different site opened for me. Can someone please help me identify how is my site being hijacked? and fix it asap! MAny reps to the person who helps. Thanks, Nik
Check which IP address it resolves to. try "ping www.funzac.com" from command prompt. if it resoves to your site and still redirect elsewhere, someone hacked your hosting account. Otherwise, problems with DNS settings/ domain name is hijacked.
The site redirects here: http://mostplays.com/ If you dont mind, please PM me with the cPanel information so that I can have more deep look in it.
I get the following info: funzac.com [216.246.11.193] redirects to mostplays.com [216.104.33.30] You can FTP to funzac.com [216.246.11.193] and check what kames the redirection. Either it will be an .htaccess file or index.php or something. You can also get the who is for the new site and inspect the logs to investigate who the site is redirecting to and how it happened.
I have fixed it. That bastard made me open the site normally, but everyone was getting redirected. He used geo targeting, and made everyone from my country to open it properly lol cheers all, and thanks for your help.
Btw what can we do about it. The perpetrator owns mostplays.com . I personally lack the skills to do anything to him, but if anyone else wants...be my guest
i did a quick google search and found that he also placed links on your site to his they seem to appear on all the game pages. http://www.funzac.com/play/Kirby.html http://www.funzac.com/play/Aircrafts Race.html the link is located in your left nav bar using the anchor text MostPlays may want to look though your site for any other links he may have left behind.
I have just contacted the hosting. It appears that he uses the same hosting like I do. What nerves this guy has for making such evident hack and thinking that no one will notice. Thank you ndreamer!
