    Hello, i just wanted to inform the former isi members, that the isiforums.net site seems to be hacked.
    At least my AV software gives an alert about an attack from jscoinminer, which seems to be very dangerous and some strange popup-windows open.
    Could you please inform them.

    Seems as nobody cares or shows some interest for it.
    Still the same attack from jscoinminer.

    Does ISI still exists?

    Try contacting ISI directly, this isn't their Forum (any more).

    But there are some former members of ISI here, that should be able to inform ISI with more success than me.

    I hope ISI can do something about this. First result from googling rfactor is the rfactor.net page, and it's suspended. Not a good look.

    This forum is slow at the moment as well, though no one seems to be saying anything. Is that just me? Am I nearing some sort of post limit? :oops:

    The past few days this site has gotten slower and slower plus connection timeouts.

    We're looking into it, thanks.
    Tim is working on having this back up on Monday.

    Yesterday, when i tried, it did not work with the isiforums.net adress.

    Anyway. It works without any attacks again and that is the important thing. :)

    Hm, seems all Rfactor2 related info pages are gone. E.g. wiki.rfactor.net

    To refresh this thread.
    This time it's not hacked but flooded by spammers and nobody seems to care for it.
    It looks very unprofessionel when one visits the site.
