I've been hacked into :(

pornrex · 2005-07-03, 11:09 PM

My host is working on it as we speak.I've been assured that it will get corrected shortly.

Thanks for your patience.

Toby · 2005-07-03, 11:13 PM

That sucks.

I hope they not only get it fixed quickly, but are able to determine how it was done so step can be taken to prevent a repeat.

pornrex · 2005-07-03, 11:22 PM

Tell me about it Toby.

My stress level has gone through the roof and I hope this can be rectified soon. These guys have been pretty good for me in the past 6 months so I gotta maintain faith.

MrYum · 2005-07-04, 12:50 AM

That blows PornRex!

Had a box hacked a couple years ago...assclowns deleted all my sites. Host fixed it...blocked em...I uploaded everything again...they hacked it AGAIN! This happened 9 times over the course of a week

I'm no longer with that host.

Good luck getting it fixed...hope your host tracks the fuckers down and sends you their balls as souveniers

Jel · 2005-07-04, 01:01 AM

Damn that sucks, hope you get it resolved soon pornrex.

pornrex · 2005-07-04, 02:36 AM

Thanks MrYum, Jel.

Makes you wonder why people do such things though. Instead of building something that they can gain from, they focus their energies on a little guy like me that does nothing but build submit and build again.

I am happy to say that my host has me up and running - at this moment. I am a little nervous though after that horrific story of yours Mr.Yum. I am going to be talking to my contact again and believe me, we will resolve this once and for all.

And as for you hacker-person, why don't you just build an appreciating asset instead of using your talents for shady pursuits? You'll get a heck of a lot further, make great friends, and put more money in your pocket. Heck, if I had your talent, I would build so many pages I would flood the search engines and laugh all the way to the bank.

pornrex · 2005-07-04, 01:53 PM

Just got off the phone with my hosting company and they told me that I will be transferred over to a new dedicated server. This will inevitably cause my stuff to go down again for a brief period AGAIN say 60-90 minutes from now for about 10-20 minutes, so don't remove any of my links, please.

Thanks In Advance.

I'm sure people will understand what happened...and that's why we have forums like these to inform people about any mishaps. Is there a way for you to track down the hacker? What about contacting his/her ISP?

pornrex · 2005-07-08, 04:43 PM

Seems the hacker is back...talking to my host right now

Please be patient with my pages

Hey guys, next week we're going to be migrating yet another GreenguyandJim member over to the Digital Fortress.

soooo... if you guys can go easy on the blacklisting/link removals, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you...

Thanks Pornrex!

Thanks for the chat sparky.

Hi Pornrex
I am sorry to hear about this
you know you still got problems

4 of your sites/gallerys are in this mornings spider report

of course everybody understands that this mess is beyond your control

dont worry about getting Black listed

Cleo · 2005-07-09, 10:01 AM

I feel so safe over at Sparky's host.

RawAlex · 2005-07-09, 12:35 PM

Many "hosts" are clueless when it comes to hackers. They fix the obvious stuff, change a few passwords, and away they go. They don't check for things like hidden directories, CHMODed cgi directories, and other back door methods that can be used to get in.

Many hosts also don't investigate to find out HOW they go in, they just repair the damage and leave the back door sitting off it's hinges, which means as soon as the paint is dry, the hackers come back in and destroy your house again.

I was hacked ONCE, maybe 6 years ago. Within hours, we tracked the hack down to a school in New York State, and within 24 hours, the little bastard was sitting looking at two NY state troopers.

A few months later he enjoyed a day in court.

Damn, PornRex...sorry those fuckers are still after you man

One of these days, we'll have to chat offboard and see if by chance your previous host was the same one I had when my server was hacked a couple years ago. They certainly had no clue how to lock down a server.

Excellent move on your part changing hosts...and of course Sparky is very well recommended

Oh, and no worries at all on your listings with me buddy

hit me up on ICQ ...be glad to share info with ya

pornrex · 2005-07-10, 05:28 PM

So yesterday I managed to get one of Sparky's techs (The Amazing Brian) to sneak in and grab what he could from the pathetic fuckers that left me exposed and left for dead. It was a good thing that he had the chance to do so, because not long afterwards, I got ICQ'd by the head tech at the 'other' hosting company.

He was pathetic. Point blank he asks me if I am leaving them, after almost 24 hours of being dead in the water. I answered with a 'would you blame me' response. I then proceeded to tell him that I have virtually lost all credibility with my peers and that my traffic plummented 85% while the bottom line was virtually wiped right out.

He offered me 2 free months as compensation and that "we have resolved this issue once and for all" but when I would not respond to his offer his last words to me was "email me when you want us to shut you down." That was yesterday around 9 PM. This morning I saw some stats trickling in at around 9AM and at 9:34AM this morning, they SHUT ME DOWN. I did not have the chance to send them an email to tell them to do so.

The reason I have written this is to make you aware that there are some real SCUM BAG FUCKS out there that are only interested in taking your money and providing you with less than nothing for your cash.

I was not going to name this host out of respect for them, BUT since they chose to fuck me at will and repeatedly without conscience or regard for my reputation nor theirs, I feel it is my moral obligation to you my peers to let you know who they are: CHOOPA. If you are on a virtual or dedicated box with this group in any capacity, run for your lives and run FAST. Do not look back, lest ye be turned into stone.

If anyone out there knows of some better business bureau for this type of situation that I could report them to, please let me know by any means neccessary. This was not my fault and I have all receipts to prove that I have paid EVERY TIME on TIME.

Had I not had the foresight to be proactive and see this situation was not going to improve, I would have been fucked, perhaps even permanently.

If you are experiencing hosting problems, talk to the senior members of this board as I chose to do. Listen to their advice. Then make arrangements right quick. Do not let the same thing that has happened to me, happen to you.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank 'Sparky and his crew' for their warm and friendly demeanor. They took on this challenge in a very short time frame and got me up and running in no time flat. Luckily, I had copies of everything I have ever made and submitted. I just have to sift through everything and put it in its place now while most of it is up already.

Thanks again Sparky and Brian. You've saved my humble little business.

And a thank you also goes out to those board members that I had spoken to and that have advised me properly. Your propensity for wisdom serves you well and I for one am greatful to you all.

Lastly, a thank you to those linklists and their hardworking crews for their having faith in me and not blacklisting me, nor removing my links. You guys, are the best.
