That's odd Jannie1957, I've just tried it in two different browsers and it's fine for me. No obvious sign of a hack. Did you go to a specific page and get the hack, or did it happen on the home page?
I just typed thyroiduk.org.uk into Google, and there was just that short message. On the home page.
Thanks Jannie1957.
TUK will look into it next week. In the meantime you can use thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/index....
RA,
I get the same message when I open a new tab with thyroiduk.org.uk but I have TUK already open on a tab and it's okay and I can change pages.
Bizarre Clutter. I went to TUK website from a new browser window and it was absolutely fine. Just clicked on your link and got the hack message!
You have to wonder about the mentality of people who hack charity and hospital websites 
It's because it's cached in your other browsers and sometimes they do share files.
I've tried it in Firefox and then in Chrome. In Chrome which I rarely use the hacked stuff comes up there as in Firefox it fine because it's cached.
Btw I mostly use an operating system that most folks don't use - linux.
I'm aware of the cached in browser aspect bluebug, which is why I used a different browser to test the second time. It's possible the hack literally hadn't filtered down through my ISP's cache when I first tried it, but had by the time I tried again 
Interesting as I did both my checks immediately one after the other.
I get Hacked by Mr Hax as well.
HB,
Please let me know whether this link works thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/index....
Yes that works fine. It is just the first link I gave (which is what Google gives you as the link and always has done) which shows the hack message.
I think the fact that someone could alter the site and prevent the re-direction is a major red flag that the Thyroid UK website is not secure. I hope it has been backed up recently.
Also, is there any chance the site could be used to host malware? If one person can hack it then another person could do the same and they may not announce their presence like Mr Hax did.
HB, I completely agree. It's getting hacked almost daily now. The webmaster needs to sort out his hosting security pronto.
I get this: Index of /tuk
Parent Directory
fundraising/
shut.php
Apache Server at thyroiduk.org.uk Port 80
Could this be to do with TUK getting a new website?
If you google Thyroid UK the link that comes up is always
Normally when you click on that link it re-directs you to this page :
Obviously MrHax has prevented that re-direction from taking place.
But if you click on the second link I gave it goes to the normal home page.
The second link works for me - thanks!
Same here Hacked by Mr Hax!!
Dreamer12,
Fantastic worked straight away thanks Clutter 😀😀

I was hacked a couple of weeks ago when I tried Thyroiduk.org.uk and had just got a new computer. I had to take it to the store and they couldn't access it at all and had to wipe it clean for me.and do the necessary for me to have a computer again.
I have now updated security etc.
Did you notify Thyroid UK?
I think we should be telling people not to go to the Thyroid UK site until it has been properly cleaned up and made secure.
When I typed Thyroiduk.org.uk and it came onto computer there was different letters (alphabet) in the line below which struck me as weird so came straight out again.
The next time after several days the same thing happended and took the same action.
Then the third time with new computer nothing showed beneath TUK and I clicked and music full of swear words and 'you have been hacked' was on screen. Shut down immediately and contacted a person who told me to go straight to store.

It would be helpful if anyone seeing a hack when they visit Thyroid UK main website could report it via the feedback form. This should alert the webmaster who can then take action to sort out the problem.
Link to Feedback Form thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/forms/...
That link plus all the ones above don't work at all for me via my android phone. this only happened other day too, they fixed it and gone again. Not good !
Not going to work, as it is on the same web site. Emailing webmaster@ or hostmaster@ might work
That's true now, but the site had not fallen over when I posted that link last night

That's good. Thanks.

Ellismay, You seem to be suggesting that Thyroid UK are not concerned that their website is causing people's computers to be contaminated by malware? And that nothing is going to change on that until the new website goes up?
If so, that is in no way acceptable. If the existing website and hosting cannot be cleaned up and made safe for people to use, then it needs to be taken down completely.
Nothing doing at present. I get
'Oh bother! That page seems to be missing (404)'
then redirects with same result.
I can't get any pages in the site - it is not serving HTML just showing directory index. Clutter's link gives a 404
Ellismay,
Perhaps you could re-read RedApple 's post. You haven't been accused of anything and I see nothing hurtful or unkind in the response.
