ATTENTION: Hacker

Post by blackrose »

We've had a hacker hit the main page of this website twice. Sadly, that's even after I changed all the passwords I knew to change and contacted my webhosting company. I'm in the process of backing everything up to my laptop, and searching for new hosting service. In the meantime - if the site disappears or is replaced by a fat man looking in his underwear again, I will move the domain pointer until I can get a new webhost setup. Rest assured that the most that will be lost is postings on Thanksgiving Day.

The hacking incidents have continued; I have upgraded the board to the latest version to fix a security hole in the code.

I have purchased a new hosting package, but cannot actually move the site until I move the nameserver. *rubs temples*

This means that we will experience some downtime this week, but I can't say for certain how long. I, more than likely, will be unable to notify everyone in advance as I'm going to be at the mercy of how fast the DNS servers populate with the information. I hope to have everything back online by Friday.

Thanks,
Rose

Is that so? *hands Rose a slice of strawberry cake* Maybe I know who the culprit is. Tell me if you have any more hacker problems. I'll try to find out where the little imp is hiding. I may BE a hacker, but I've got principles on how I live my life. :razz: I'm thinking that the guy must be really clever if the asshole could enter the tiniest loophole in the upgraded system. I already have one person in mind, but it can't be him. He's under my close observation.
