Press Release

Update: After a few days the GPWA forums are back online. It seems that they paid the ransom, the amount it is unknown.  Lets hope that IT Staff has made all the necessary adjuments to avoid this kind of attack again.


If you go to the GWPA website you will see this phrase in red “Our servers have been hit by a ransomware attack and we're working hard to restore our sites. Currently, most of gpwa.org is unavailable.”

It is been 4 days since the GPWA Forum has been attacked by hackers, the reason for this attack is still unknown, many of the 25,000 GPWA members are getting impatient and are asking for solutions and until this moment the IT Staff from GPWA has not yet solved this situation but they are working very hard to solve this problem.
