AUPark.org is owned by a local lawyer that is a member of this
group, in fact -- me. Apologies to anybody who received the scam e-
mails. My account was hacked. I've removed what I believe are all
the trojan files from the server and updated the application where
the rogue files were placed. I've also asked my web host to help me
figure out what vulnerability was exploited.
The website addresses a contentious issue in the AU Park /
Tenleytown area, and the fact that so many local individuals
received the scam e-mails suggests that a local person with an
agenda hacked the site, which is sad indeed. None of this group
members' e-mail addresses would be on the server, or, indeed, on my
computer at home, as I read posts on the web.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if anything like this happens
again.
