Hi,

Let's hope the hacker hasn't re-directed any past donations.

This is now fixed - I forgot I removed all PayPal stuff at the outset. I was also considering whether the list of donations was an attraction to "bad actors" in the first place. Not sure it was, but I think the attack vector may have been a file on the AquaticRepublic.com (AR) site that I placed there in error. AR resides on the same virtual private server as Planet - but not for long, that's one of the changes I now need to make.

The redirection goes to AquaticRepublic.com, which I own/control. This is because of the non-catfish lookup facility, e.g.
red-tailed black shark
. The redirection kicked in because of the Paypal code not being present.

Anyway, all back up and running now.

Cheers,

Jools
