Title: Hacked
Post by: Barman on October 01, 2007, 08:18:05 AM
Hi,

Thos of you who were around over the weekend will see that we have regressed a little and lost some posts/avatars.

Essentially, some low-life scum managed to access the web site over the weekend and delete everything so we have had to restore backups from Saturday afternoon.

I can’t imagine why someone with IT skills would get pleasure out of doing this rather than something constructive but clearly they do.

I am investigating the route which was used to access the site – it may just be coincidence that it happened after our move or something related to the new host that needs resolving. Either way we are working on it here to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.

Here is a picture of the pathetic low-life scum that can find nothing better to do with his obvious talents than destroy that which others have built and enjoy.

It’s his ‘calling card’ that he left on our site last night after deleting everything.

A party would be a great idea if I had his address – I’d invite a few baseball bats along….

Can't you trace him via the IP address, and isn't hacking illegal anyway?

I wouldn't fuel his ego by discussing it where he can read all about it.
Just set up the firewalls etc and ensure we have a back up every day.
He'll be back given half a chance.

Obviously got mental problems.
I've never managed to suss out WHY someone would want to hack a web site tbh, apart from the fact that they can then say that they have.

Probably sitting in a corner right now, tuggin' himself off reading this! 8)

WTF do you think the poor man has been trying to do all morning? He has got the site back but some of the weekend's stuff has been erased. The Hacker thought he had erased everything. The only reason we have got the rest back is because BM backed up everything before he made the switch to the new location. After the switch there was no back-up of the new stuff to call on.
BTW he also got the new location up and running in next to no time.
