I don't know anything about IT etc so couldn't really comment, it could perhaps be one of a number of sites accessed through the company which runs it.

This is leading to security concerns from fans who bought stuff like season tickets from the website using paypal or their visa details.

Insecure server. if it's the host move away as they're obviously using outdated software with known issues. Could also have been the company that manages the site if they haven't kept WordPress up to date.

Either way it's nothing personal. Scan around for servers with known vulnerabilities and take them over, just so happens one of those was hosting a rugby site.

Best option would have been to start with a fresh OS image, never trust a server that has been compromised & always expect the worst case scenario. Easier to do that than leave something behind that gives them access again.

The story was mentioned in the national press or at least their online presence this morning. Can't remember which paper - either DM, DE, Mirror or DT.

Hang on, though, if he was eligible, what difference does it make if he was ill?

I see RL's expansion is nicely targeting the middle east.

That said, if ISIS are ever considering a representative team, that they might want to keep those head high tackles to a minimum.

... I'll get me coat.

I run websites, and the logs are full of web-bots hitting the site looking for known vulnerabilities. Once they find one, it goes on a list to be visited at some later time and hacked.

In this case, it sounds like the vulnerability is Wordpress, either a current problem, or an old one that has not been patched by the administrators.

This is why you need someone to keep on top of the updates to this kind of software, and get them updated asap. It doesn't take long for new vulnerabilities to find their way onto the regular tests against sites.
