Hacked
« 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.

Picture! Won't ask how you came across it, but we now need the name and  address please. Email address even so we can bombard him with the shite that he dishes out.
I feel a little party comin' on p'raps?

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….

Shifty foreign look about him? His eyes are too far apart together for my liking too. Those eyebrows join up?

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)

Couldn't have put it better myself Growler.

I just don't understand why. It's just another form of vandalism.

As I have been on other duties, I have no idea what I have missed and whether it was worth missing.
