Comment to UNA site was missing all day today

Sure! 😀 unacms.com is running unacms. So is everyone here (that's why we are here). If someone has found a way to write files to the server within the unacms directory / folder, then they could do what I describe above. That took my site down to a blank page. Something similar (or the same) could have happened to the unacms.com site. If there is a vulnerability with the unacms software that a bad actor exploited, then it could exist in all instances.
It would be helpful to hear more from the UNA people about what happened to their sites. It seems kind of odd that my site got compromised the same day theirs did.

  I think it’s just a coincidence. If you don’t have a secure storage system but it’s accessible from the outside, then of course anyone could have put anything there—but that’s not a fault of UNA CMS, it’s a fault of your settings. I could be wrong, of course, and as for the UNA outage, I actually have a feeling that changes are coming that the UNA team is preparing for, and we’re just guessing or dreaming about them for now :)

  Hello @Te Ara Paerangi Community !
  The blank page usually means the server error whici is tracked uin the logs. Could you please PM me with the server access to check what was there, because form my side, I could operate with another UNA site without similar troublesa that day.
