Yes, the web site is up. For now, anyway.

I accessed the SAC web page at the start of the meeting Fri night and it

I got infected by the site last night and had to spend 3 hours running
various scanners. I am not sure I fixed everything.
When I accessed the site I got McAfee popups saying that my license
expired and redirecting me to a McAfee look alike site. I was foolish
enough to fall for the verification stuff. I would have sent this out
earlier but I just got back from Apache Junction.
The site needs to be disabled for now.

Subject: [sac-board] The SAC webpage
We spoke last night about the ongoing cyber attacks on the SAC webpage.
Today I see even the home page is affected. It is asking for verification
which is, I think, a phishing attempt to down load God knows what on to
your
computer.
Brew mentioned he is looking at a solution and would present it next
month.
We need to move away from GoDaddy as they don't seem to be able to prevent
these attacks. I'm wondering who East Valley uses?
I don't think we should wait. If Brew has a solution, put the cost to the
board and get an approval. My $0.02
