RUN 5 and SSG sites both give the message "account suspended".

Very weird.

I'v seen doing a MSN search that they have merged and that all account holders were sent an e-mail explaining how to get thier accounts reopened

Same here Joe - seems very weird and looks like a hack attack which is a nice way to start the year off. Hope I'm wrong.

Guys, hold off on actioning any emails is my suggestion and I haven't received any emails yet either.

Gentlemen,

Avoid the vDeck site. This appears to be a hack and there is a virus attempt if you go there.

When you see the error message its not the ssg.com.au link

Its the host255.ipowerweb site. Don't go there as my anti-virus caught bloodhound.exploit.21 on opening the site.

So, is the SSG site running? I dont seem to be able to get there. If so - how do we get there.

I just ran a virus scan on my system but everything is clear you sure you got it from trying to log into the forum JSS.

There's no problem going to the SSG links (ssg.com.au or ssg.com.au/forum/); these are clean.

Do go to host255.ipowerweb.com... trying to open that address is where I intercepted the virus attempt.

But how to get to those web pages? ssg.com.au takes me to "Your account is closed we have sent you an email"

Your bookmark sends you toward ssg.com.au... the webhost redirects you to the error page (with the webhost URL).

Hitting refresh at the redirect URL is how you could run into trouble... this is same as typing open host255ipowerwebcom.

I never hit refresh.

Are you able to access RUN 5 or SSG?

No, can get to neither the Run5 section nor the forums.

Gregor says the support team is working on the problem. Hopefully they'll be able to get back on line soon.

Hi Guys,
The problem is on ours and our hosts end. We are working on this issue, but as it's public holiday time, people are away etc etc.
I will post more info as i get it.
