Know what happened to the site today? / What happened?
« on: June 27, 2008, 07:17:25 PM »
I'm just curious.  What little I saw made it sound like it got hacked.  Glad things are back to normal.

Thats what it looked like to me too. I showed it to my bf (who knows alot about computers) and he said it looked like it was corrupted.

Yes it was hacked I'm afraid, exploit patched hopefully. I'm sorry it took all day to restore but I had meetings at work this morning so I had to wait until I got home and have been working on it since. I think I'll go have a soak in the tub now.

Thanks so much for getting it back so quickly. I thought that it was gone for good :\\\'(

We are a nation that has a government -- not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the earth. Our government has no power except that granted to it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government, which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed.
Ronald Reagan

�In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.� - Thomas Jefferson

If you use the same passport here as you do on othersites, such as you email, I'd recommend changing it in both places. When hacked, I'd assume that all username/email addresses/passwords have been compromised.
