    Thanks,so I'm guessing the admin account of the operating system was compromised,then it was done offline or known to someone else perhaps?Interesting.

    Follow the link & it will tell you.
    This is the timframe of the start of it.
    11:22 – Administrative account compromised


    11:22 -> 11:34 – Administrative account used to insert malicious code into our software


    11:34 – User table dumped to public directory and downloaded

    As there is an ongoing investigation I would not expect much more details at the moment.

    Yep, as koolkid says, we're not going to discuss details of the attack until the Garda investigation is finished.

    When that's all done, I'll try to answer as many questions as I can.
