catesta Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 i think norah jones had something to do with it...... I suspect the same. BTW did you know her dad is Tod "Out2Lunch" Shankar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Wow...I'm surprised as hell to see you guys again! I thought for sure this was going to be at least a one week deal. This is fantastic!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 (edited) I'm not very knowledgeable about cyber-terrorism, but I can't help but wonder if there's any way to trace this back to a source. Are these guys really adept at covering their tracks? It sure seems like a lot is known about them- where they're from, their motives, other hacking jobs they've done. Couldn't some "counter hackers" hack the hackers? Of course, my first thoughts were "some pissed off poster has exacted their revenge!". I won't even list the names that crossed my mind since it would only be speculation. Though you can guess, I'll bet. Glad to see the board back. I didn't realize how addicted I'd become until denied access . It's nice to have an alternative site like AAJ as sort of an "emergency family meeting place" to go to and get information (and vice-versa). Just glad it was up again. Duck and cover!

Jim Alfredson Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Well they must've found another hole because they got us again. Ken is busy finding the hole and patching it but his cable modem is still out so he's doing it via dial-up. That stinks. Anyway... we're still here!

Matthew Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Thanks Jim for keeping it going. Excuse the french, but these hackers are pure assholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Find out where the hackers live and send them one of Randissimo's skunks.Yeah that'll work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzdog Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Hoo boy, that was quite frightening. At first I thought I got hit with a virus but it wasn't that. Still very strange though, the shaking window thing was the worst of all...I thought I was going down for sure. Glad to see everyone back again and no info appears to be lost.

GA Russell Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Even though the forum is back up, my firewall is blocking many attempted intrustions per minute still because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Even though the forum is back up, my firewall is blocking many attempted intrustions per minute still because of this. How do actually know when this is happening? Do you get some sort of pop-up that alerts you? I have the Win XP home edition which supposedly contains a firewall....that enough?

catesta Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 I got some of the same messages you guys got, my screen first went black, the message said "we own you", then it started bouncing around. I shut it down after that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 I can only assume that our firewall kept these buggers away, the only thing I'd see when the board was hit was the kinda creepy looking wallpaper image. But I'm wondering what will happen if the site is down again and I try to access it from work ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Weil Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 I don't have a firewall on this computer, so I can't tell if I'm being attacked right now (or over the last two days). But on another computer I've used, with the Norton firewall, you get a little flashing thing at the bottom of the screen (on the firewall icon, I think) which tells you someone's trying to break in. That happens a lot. Generally the attacks don't go on and on. Just once, I had some guy trying to break in endlessly. None of this had anything to do with Securinfos, so the firewall thing may be a coincidence. We'd need some other reports on that.

catesta Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 My Norton firewall was sending me alerts all day yesterday, at least 10-15 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Weil Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 My Norton firewall was sending me alerts all day yesterday, at least 10-15 times. 10-15 times wouldn't have been out of the ordinary for me without Securinfos.

vibes Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Don't know if this is related, but the board time is off by an hour. I live in Central, but can't get the time correct unless I switch to Mountain. And yes, the daylight savings time box is unchecked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
