Website Hijacker Not to be taken Lightly
Looks like some people have been getting threats from our famous hijacker again.
Its not bullshit.. We had a big hacker get in and hijack some really large sites last summer. Im talking the 200,000 hits a day plus sites got hijacked for over a week..
Easy Pic, Pic Post, Absolute Series, Movies Gold, all got hijacked last summer..
And you know what, there was and there is nothing we can do about it.. The hijacker is from Turkey.
I was working with the guys at sextracker to try and get more info on him.. I was talking to the hijacker on Icq, and he wanted $$$ to hand the sites over. It took over a week for InterNic to trasfer the dominas back over to the rightful owners.. In sone cases over 2 weeks, their sites took a huge traffic pound and drop when they got the sites back under control..
Ever since this, netowrksolutions has bumped up its security, but these new domain registars are really easy for these pricks to hack into.
Dont think you are immuned.. If you are a big site you better be careful.. But if you are a small under 100,000 hits a day site you dont have to worry AS MUCH because he preys on the large sites, he wouldnt waste his time.. But the large sites have all been warned and know all about this prick.. Maybe he is preying on the smaller sites that dont know of him yet.
The network of large sites I trade with are all aware of this guy, and we have all taken precautions. It looks as if many of you dont know about this guy yet, and that he is serious. Im suprized.
Just dont take these threats lightly if you are a large site or small site..
Contact your webhost, and your registar, and take action in protectiong your domain..
