NOMMA Website Hack

Last week the NOMMA website was hacked. On Sunday, Google listed us as a potential "malicious site." When visiting the NOMMA site, you may receive some type of warning message. Apparently, someone or someTHING hacked into our site and made our site an intermediary for distributing Trojan horses, according to the report we received from Google.

Our web developer immediately took time out from her vacation to investigate the problem. Our hosting service also checked our site for any potential malware. To date, all checks have come up clean.

At this time we are checking the source code and links for any type of trouble. Once we have completed this second examination we will request "reconsideration" from Google.

While I do not BELIEVE there is anything harmful on the NOMMA website, I urge everyone to use extra caution. If you are redirected to an unknown website or asked to download an unknown program, do not proceed with either action.

Hopefully, we will have the "clean" status of our site restored in a few days.

Sincerely,

Todd Daniel, NOMMA Communications Manager
