Members,
As some of you may have noticed, SUPRS.net is back online. It will be a while before it is fully functional as we work to weed through inactive users and obsolete plugins that could cause further vulnerability.
We found several suspicious files on the back end of the site and after contact with our host discovered that malware was loaded to the site and that it most likely came from a user that logged into the site with an infected computer.
It appears that malicious code has been uploaded using a stolen username and password. At this time, we have removed the malicious code from the account. From our experience with malware of this nature, the account passwords are stolen using viruses/malware located on your local computer. This malware sniffs out passwords used and stored by FTP and other programs. In order to protect against future attack, you will need to run full virus and malware scans on your computers to ensure that they are clean. We recommend using multiple scanners as we have found that some scanners do not detect the malware.
You should clean your computer using malware and antivirus and it is best to use two different brands because some catch this and some catch that. Refer to the instructions found here: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/ showthread.php?t=35407 . After the clean has completed, please change all account passwords. Failure to clean your computer and change your passwords will result in further infection of our site.
You need to create a password containing at least 12 characters and using numbers, upper and lower case letters as well as special characters. DO NOT EVER USE real words, phrases, or sequential numbers or alphabetical letters!!!
Something like:
]crZt2X=5LEv or
Vc39-Yi4#m^ is best but PLEASE don’t copy and paste those to use 
.
You should also ALWAYS LOG OUT OF SITE as opposed to just closing your browser. Many of these things are something you should be doing regularly with any site you have to sign into like email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. PROTECT YOURSELF AND THE SITES YOU VISIT!
We have spent well over 4 hours in tech chat, and countless more hours scouring through the back end of the site. PLEASE help us protect SUPRS.net from going down again by being a responsible member and doing what you can to help us.
Once we have the site fully functional again, we will be working on a Winged Championship schedule using NASCAR Heat. We are NOT at the point that we can roll out rFactor especially for the wings. We have set the goal to go with the non-wing version of our rFactor mod sometime after the end of the Winged Championship Season. We hope to be able to run some pick up races with non-wing rFactor to further test. We ask that you PLEASE make sure your systems are ok to run the new mod.
Thank you all for your patience during these issues. We appreciate your support of this league and while other leagues may be running supermodifieds, we know that it’s only because of YOU our members that this league is as good as it is and has the camaraderie that it does.
