adontik Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I just tried to log on to the Warka Site. It said it has been hacked. You are correct. If you go to the main Warka page the site does appear to be hacked. I was able to log into my account but the main page is hacked. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyChick Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 If you go directly to online banking: http://www.warka-bank.com/online.php then its fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike032588 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 THis has happened before they dont have high encryption on the home page just the online banking page... It is a Newbi hacker... i am one myself... very unprofessional... he deff had some kind of grudge for Warka... go here for now... https://www.warkaonline.com/IBS/index.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrparrot Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Maybe, just maybe, it's a trick. Maybe, just maybe, Warka did it themselves as a cover for something they're doing. Any real hacker with mad skills would take down the entire site, not just the main page. And it's only the main page in English, as far as I know. Something just doesn't seem right...

mrparrot Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Even if you can still get to a log-in page, do you really want to risk logging in right now??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingdancer Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I have sent several emails to the correct depts over the last month and I haven't gotten a response yet. I emailed the president today. I want to know how to withdrawn my funds out after the RV but not at a wire transfer of only $10,000 at a time. It would take me forever to get all my money out. I am really worried about this account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIZIOIRAQI Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Even if you can still get to a log-in page, do you really want to risk logging in right now??? No I repeat NO don't lodge into your warka account , the hacker front page could be a window to catch all your lodge in info and your pc info.

Frank61 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I just tried to log on to the Warka Site. It said it has been hacked. The front page has been hacked. No need to panic it will be resolved as soon as the bank opens in 8-9 hours I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheckMate Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) No I repeat NO don't lodge into your warka account , the hacker front page could be a window to catch all your lodge in info and your pc info. Abort Now NO NO NO NO,..... Sorry folks but this is what it looks like from my end. Has the front page been hit Yes, has the firewall been broken and the accounts been hit,......no! There are different levels any server has and a front page hit is NOT a good sign but getting into the internal system is way different. It is like breaking into a brick and mortar Bank, they got into the front door and they were even able to write graffiti all over the front rooms (the Joker) but they can not break into the vault! How do we know this,...if you can get into your back office, then the back end is still secure. Warka Bank would take the system off line if they made it past the server security. If this just happened and in the first few min. this went unnoticed by the Bank you might be at risk. That said; If you see it, I'm sure Warka Bank sees it, they have known about this bug (and that is all it is) from the very moment they were hit. I have done online business for a number of years. I have been hit on the front end a number of times and it does piss you off. They will get it fixed and then it will be over. I still would not log into my account unless it was an emergency, but If i needed to I would. This is not just my opinion, it is a fact of online security. We all have certain things we know, online security I do know. zzzzzzzzz,..... Edited October 25, 2010 by CheckMate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
