X-13 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 What, no email? Pfft useless site! Actually... There is an e-mail option. It's under "Thread tools."[/Anti-joke_Chicken]
Arthur Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Supports more than just 1 product. I don't know about you, but since EduGeek isn't just for people who worked in education (at least not any more), I would put it in the same group as other IT forums like Ars Technica etc. which are definitely much bigger.
featured_spectre Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 I would have put Ars Technica in the catagory of IT News first then community support second....edugeek is the other way round
Oaktech Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 I would have put Ars Technica in the catagory of IT News first then community support second....edugeek is the other way round does this mean we are out of touch?
GrumbleDook Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Personally, I'm interested to see a statement. But that's more from a professional point of view than a personal one. Do you mean as in working out what your school should do if they have a breach / attack / load?
X-13 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Do you mean as in working out what your school should do if they have a breach / attack / load? Indeed. Plus, I'm counting it as CPD. [Depending on how much detail it goes into.]
Guest salan Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 I would be interested in case there is anything I could learn form it for the forums I run. Its ok saying 'make sure they are up to date' but some times it can be a setting that you have just forgotten about that gives a security hole. Not after a 'blow by blow' but anything that could help make my forums more secure. Alan
GrumbleDook Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 There is some good guidance from the ICO about what to do in a data breach, and IIRC there is information in the Diploma / Certificate in School Business Management. I'll try to collate a group of links together over the next few days and grab a couple of examples. Every issue is slightly different but there are some common themes. I'll prod that Mr Newton too as I know he has info as well
pete Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 I would have put Ars Technica in the catagory of IT News first then community support second....edugeek is the other way round Obligatory "Ars has a front page?".
featured_spectre Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 No, just that Ars covers lots of areas in terms of news (from gaming to security to phones to software)...we do not cover all of that material
CAM Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 I haven't seen an increase of spam in my inbox and since this one goes to only a few places outside of work, I can't see any sign it's been compromised in the hack. In fact, when Steam was hacked at the same time I was pretty confident both sites had handled it well. They know to encrypt and salt passwords giving us plenty of time to change them before they are broken. Given this site is well known by Steam forum users thanks to the compatability mode thread and both use vBulletin, no surprise EG became a target.
sister_annex Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 How do you think @Dos_Box and @ZeroHour would feel if they had this to contend with?? 13 million Korean gamers get hacked - The Inquirer
Little-Miss Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Hmm how should i feel about the fact i had a conversation with the "Hacker".....at least he apologised to me lol!
localzuk Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Hmm how should i feel about the fact i had a conversation with the "Hacker".....at least he apologised to me lol! From this point on, I think we should blame Little Miss...
Little-Miss Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 You use a Dell, SYSMAN_MK... I am disappointed. Ahem... PS: I got a purple Dell laptop...
Little-Miss Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 From this point on, I think we should blame Little Miss... What can i say...i was bored... 1
featured_spectre Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 I think she should name and shame! Unless its her and she has uberleet skills!
tech_guy Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Ahem...[ATTACH=CONFIG]12282[/ATTACH] PS: I got a purple Dell laptop... Is he real?!
Little-Miss Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 The picture?.....i think so... X-13 missed out on a meme...
X-13 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 The picture?.....i think so... X-13 missed out on a meme... I chose not to use it. I use too many, and most of them people don't get.
X-13 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 I do though lol! http://s3.amazonaws.com/kym-assets/photos/images/small/000/103/740/Me%20Gusta.png?1318992465 1
FN-GM Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Did Edugeek ever get back with details of the hacking or anything?
RabbieBurns Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 @SYNACK posted some brief details about it after I raised the question in a different thread somewhere. I will see if I can find the post.
