Thread: PGConf APAC 2018
We have the site in the event page. https://www.postgresql.org/about/event/2186/ When I put the site (https://www.postgresql.org) into Google search, it says: --------------------------------------------------------------- PGConf APAC 2018 – PostgreSQL Conference for the Asia Pacific 2018.pgconfapac.org/ This site may be hacked. --------------------------------------------------------------- Do we want to care about this?

How Google tracks reputation across links isn't particularly obvious but our linking to known evil content is probably not good. Cheers, Steve

It's definitely been compromised. The obvious stuff is SEO pill spammer
links injected into the content, but that means there could be almost anything
else too.
The whole site needs to be wiped, secured and rebuilt.
Yeah, definitely. Is there interest from the pgconfapac group to do that? The other option is of coursse to just wipe it.
For the moment, I've un-moderated it so that it will nto be listed on our site. We can re-enable it once it's been fixed.
