PGTour.net website has been hacked and seem to have lost forums, news and all rankings. The website is "temporarily closed" and no word whether a backup is available or not has been said.
Yesterday evening at around 21:00 CET, GosuGamers reported that PGTour.net's website was under an attack. It seemed at that time like it was a password to an administrator's account that leaked which gave an intruder access to play around with news and the rankings. The person responsible for the incident also added a redirection to a non-related forum.
However, as the situation seemed to be under control as management deleted the news and restored the rankings. PGTour Staff had killed off the hacking attempt just below 20 minutes. Or so it seemed.
Shortly after, it became obvious that the intruder had more than just account access to PGTour but actually access to execute scripts on his own. PGTour today repots at TeamLiquid that "[the hacker managed to] delete some MySQL tables so there are no more forum's posts, no more news and no more BNet-X stats."
PGTour is believed to still have all the source code for their site and gateway, yet the rankings and contents have been cleared. There has been no mention from PGTour if there is backups and then the website and BNet-X gateway is to be available again.
Last update on the story: 6th, 14:51 CET.
