I wonder if the Sentech website has been hacked. I tried to go to www.sentech.co.za this morning and instead of getting the main site got the following text message: XTech Inc in your Box - SENTECH owned cyaaaa uid=0. Interesting...
 
I get that page too. Looks like they've been compromised.

Jhbgirl, maybe you're viewing a cache copy of the page?

"XTech Inc in your Box - SENTECH owned cyaaaa uid=0"
 
There's not much to see - it's just a blank page at http://www.sentech.co.za with this line at the top left corner:

XTech Inc in your Box - SENTECH owned cyaaaa uid=0

Looking at the page source doesn't show any HTML at all. Trying a complete page refresh brings the same page up.

C:\>ping www.sentech.co.za

Pinging www.sentech.co.za [66.18.65.124] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 66.18.65.124: bytes=32 time=25ms TTL=243

That's the IP that resolves to www.sentech.co.za. Can you confirm the same?

I've taken a screen shot just in case.
 
If it were hacked and not some error message, there are loads more creative phrases that could have been put on there!

I also get the message. How funny. I see it was hacked early this morning around 2am. I'm very surprised it hasn't already been fixed. Then again, Sentech has proved they are not a very professional company.
 
mmm... if I logon with MyWireless it looks fine but if I logon with ADSL I get the "XTech Inc in your Box - SENTECH owned cyaaaa uid=0."

I'm sure their 24/7 support team will get right on to it..... Monday morning

Right on, after the coffee break and half a dozen meetings and depends if the person in charge of the website has his/her phone on voice message :D

You're probably getting a cached version through MyWireless.
 
What dissapoints me is that they've put the site back up with the SAME version of PostNuke ... the SAME vulrenable version ...

Come on guys ... I mentioned this to your technical team almost a year ago.
