It's also possible the hacker is working on DNF as I see odd things. For example, when clicking on some newer threads I am told the thread does not exist but it really does exist as I just looked at it earlier and it is there. A few other oddities have also been encountered, including very s--l--o--w loading of some parkingsite pages.

He said to me ******** is down, Hes working on Domainstate.com and then Webhostingtalk

So is -RJ- not telling the truth about being down for maintanance, or is that perhaps a canned response coming direct from the server due to the problem with the site?

Well RJ would rather say Under maintenance than put visitors off by saying they have been hacked. Would you tell your visitors you have been hacked, Worry them about there information being out there? Its best to tell people once the problem is sorted, Or better yet deny being hacked and dont give him credit

I hope DNF doesnt go down, I have warned them over at WHT about him.

I just wish he would pick on Google or Microsoft, He wouldnt get away with it then

How can this be stopped? Block all Iranian IPs and he'll just proxy.

Maybe it's a good idea right now to agree on a chat room somewhere where we all can meet (to talk about this situation and other stuff) in case the forum(s) do(es) get hacked?

Hi everyone. I am currently on the road (moving my daughter in at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia). Just got on the internet for the first time since Saturday and learned of this (had expected to be on last night when we arrived but my hotel is having a big problem with their wireless network. Just got on tonight through a DSL connection in their Club Room). I have a complete current back up of DNJournal but cannot access it from the road and will not be back home until Sunday. Whoever did this displayed perfect timing, catching me out of town. I will start looking into what I can do from here. I was going to write the new sales column from Philly tonight but since this is a priority now, I will probably have to postpone the sales report until next week and combine both weeks in one report when everything is fixed.

Thanks for all of your good wishes and any suggestions on what I might be able to do from here. I am going to have limited time as Penn has a full schedule of activities for incoming students and parents this week and being a part of that with my daughter is my top priority. Everything else will be fixed but I cannot get this special time with her back.

all you have to do is wait for him to try again and do a trace route back to his pc, script kiddies think proxies hide them, but you can trace people through proxies, if he is in a country that doesnt do anything about hackers then you just fight fire with fire and you can drop his pc in a mater of seconds, his most likely a sad person with no friends and no life and the only way he can make himself feel special is by searching google for simple scripts to hack website, which any MUPPET can do, i have gone against such script kiddies in the past and they end up going crying to there mommies with burnt fingers

I agree with aboutwhat.

It seems reasonable to assume that any identifying info he gave would be of the "red herring" type -
clues designed to mislead you.
Exactly!!
Reading the text of the web page it seems obvious to me that he/she is an English speaking person with no knowledge of other languages at all.
The text indicates it is just someone pretending to have limited skills in English

Hmmm NP now looks like they are trying to get back up:

"Red Hat Enterprise Linux Test Page

hmm, the favicon for NP still works, but their site is down...

this tells me that the content based areas of that site were targeted...leads me to believe NP was hacked, no matter what the Mods or Admins there might say

Good that your site is safe, I hope you can get that message off soon. Good luck.

www.dnjournal.com is back!!
Thanks Duke

Thanks Joe. Though I am on the road and away from my own backup files I was able to reach my host and they restored the site from their backup. I'll look into this matter more closely when I get back home. Our email was also down so I have to gather our sales data from our contributors again, so it looks like I will have to postpone tonite's report and combine it with next week's data in the next report a week from tonite.

doesn't look good for NP...



"Dear NamePr0s members,

Sorry I'm running late, but am working hard to reopen the site as soon as possible. Our database had a major problem and it is taking longer than expected to transfer and restore from the backup. Full explanation to come."

Sincerely,
-RJ-
