lala_rawraw (1000+ posts) Fri Jul-15-05 12:19 PM Original message OMFG - We were hacked - ALL of our email Edited on Fri Jul-15-05 01:46 PM by Skinner

Addresses were removed from the account. WTF?????????????????????? And our access denied. THEN, ADS site seems to have been hacked as well. Don't know the details of the ADS hit, but will find out. David Swanson just called to tell me and I was busy telling him. Both hit, same day.

PEOPLE, this is an organized thing.

EDITED BY ADMIN: To clarify, the message refers to AfterDowningStreet.org. Democratic Underground was not hacked.


TOPICS: Computers/Internet
KEYWORDS: afterdowningstreet; downingstreetmemo; hacked; rawstory
I don't condone criminal activity and hope the catch whose responsible.....

11. I have no access, all the passwords were changed...
And JOHN is in the ER with a high fever. WTF???? Someone went in, deleted several hundred email addresses, changed the codes and locked us out. And, the server was down twice today. Our tech guy is unreachable. That leaves it all up to me. What do I do? I cannot get into our email.

Two LW kook sites compromised. Interesting.

They did that recently to Protest Warrier and Free Dominion. I hope all these Hackers get caught and put in jail no matter what site it is!

He should move the current data off to a spare drive, reload from a backup, and stop blaming the mysterious right wing conspiracy...

That should do for a start... ;-)

Actually Raw Story is back up. They are really re-doing their website I think it was more of a glitch for them.

What's that supposed to mean? Of course it's "organized" - you don't break into servers by randomly mashing keys on your keyboard. Or do they think that they're such mighty and powerful admins that only the NSA or CIA or some such could ever possibly get in?

Sounds like someone got in and did some snopping and some malicious changing of passwords.
