SBE Website Recovered After Malware Attack

The Society of Broadcast Engineers’ website is offline after having experienced a malware attack on May 30.

The website is currently in a lockdown to prevent further nefarious activity while the SBE works to identify what was compromised and remove it, then check again for further activity.

At present, when trying to access the site, the web browser may show a “401 Unauthorized” code or prompt users for a login — which will be unsuccessful.

“We realize this affects many functions, programs and services of the SBE,” wrote the SBE in an email to its members on June 4. “We are working with our site host and others to restore the function as fast as possible, and we appreciate your understanding.”‘

Communications Director Chriss Scherer said the SBE hoped to resolve the issue before there was a need to notify its membership.
