Christian website hacked (crosswalk.com)
Crosswalk.com ^ | 12/31/2007 | Self

Posted on 12/31/2007 1:14:10 PM PST by CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC

This site has been hacked for at least an hour now, apparently by an illiterate, anti-Christian, teenaged hacker from Finland. I traced down the domain owners and called their North Carolina phone #. They are in today, and know about the hacking, and are trying to fix it at the moment.


TOPICS: Computers/Internet; Religion
KEYWORDS: christianity; crosswalkcom; finland; hackers

Checked it out, it looks like the tech folks got to work and brought it back up. God Bless them. Have mercy on the hacker because the hacker will need it.

Commandment #11: Thou shalt not hack.

The background image consists of a lot of burning crosses around the outside. In the center is an image of a Finnish flag, and two photos of what I assume is the hacker. The text is: “ATTENTION CHRISTIAN SHEEP. I’m atheis whitch means I don’t belive in god so that about my religion twas like apology to remove sin and after jesus u have to except him in ur heart that means god is’t all powerfull if he can’t forgive sin’s just like that. RELIGION IS FALSE AND ITS PROVEN. AND LISTEN I’M NOT AMERICAN SO MY MORTHERS LANGUAGE ISN’T ENGLISH SO DON’T [f-word] ABOUT MY NON GOOD ENGLISH OK XP”. This is followed by a youtube link and then more text: “WATH AN LEARN” and “WEN WILL AMERIKA BE SMART LIKE MOTHER FIN-LAND? ONLY TIME WIL TELI”.

Wow, they did do a major hack. You can still see it on Google’s cache from yesterday.

And BTW, the youtube link is to this hacker's own home video, starring himself speaking into the camera. It has 2500 views at the moment, and I refuse to post it and give him any more publicity than he has now.

At least the pointer to his youtube alias (member for a year, so doesn't look like he's trying hard to cover his tracks) might be useful to law enforcement .... assuming of course that it's a crime in Finland to hack into an overseas website, even an American Christian one?

You can post it and if enough people mark it as abuse, it will be pulled.

You can find it in the link in post #7. Do you think marking it as abuse would get youtube to pull it? Or just generate more publicity for him?

I hope the crosswalk.com owners forward the information to the Finnish police.

Also, this thread just got moved by the admins to "Chat" so I assume almost no more FR readers will see this.

His last line is "WEN WILL AMERIKA BE SMART LIKE MOTHER FIN-LAND? ONLY TIME WIL TELI"

Where would the world be without Finland? Where would concept of Liberty and Freedom be without Mother Fin-land? Kinda make you think.

It is in religion and computers now, chat was temporary to find the best location. Reserve breaking news for just that, breaking news.

Umm, first of all, it still says "General/Chat" at the top right corner.

Secondly, I know what breaking news is, and I did not post it there. I posted it to "Extended News". Was that wrong?

It should have been posted in every possible sidebar. Help keep Sidebar Moderators employed. Abuse the sidebars early and often.

(Just kidding. We ain't employed. Just deployed).
