Having your business suddenly in the political spotlight can have several adverse consequences, including gaining the attention of online fraudsters.

The Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington, Virgina, which recently made news refusing to serve White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is being targeted in a cyberattack according to a researcher. The scammers have apparently taken over parts of the Red Hen's website in order to use its sudden popularity to drive traffic to their own web sites, which sell things like discount Viagra.

The scammers likely weren’t trying to take a political stand, and instead hoped to capitalize on heightened internet traffic to the website because of the headlines, said Chris Boyd, lead malware intelligence analyst at security software company Malwarebytes, who wrote a blog post about what he found on the site. Even so, Boyd suggested that users might want to stay away from the site, as the compromise could mean the site is open to other kinds of attacks that could harm end-users.

Reality check, eh?

Dang auto correct.

Too bad. Maybe it is the waiter who blabbed and brought all the trouble on his bosses’ head. Not that she didn’t deserve it.

With all the homos on the Red Hen staff, how do we know that there’s no AIDS in the mayonnaise?

Answer: We don’t. The mayonnaise could indeed have AIDS.

It would’ve gotten out one way or anothed. Lefties love to toot their own horn.

I’m not exactly proud to admit it, but if tomorrow I were to read that the Red Hen restaurant had been ‘mysteriously razed’ overnight,- investigation ongoing, I would cackle with great glee.

Yes. one cannot visit an attacked/damaged site...

[lee martell]

If all the cooks and waitstaff knew that the owner could be so easily provoked, it makes you wonder how do they know this? What other episodes are known of her acting a fool under the pretense of righteousness? If the restaurant fails, stories like this will eventually come out. Then, they will be upset with her for there state of unemployment.
She might even get sued by a member of her little ‘gang’.

The area is a political conservative bastion. It started with a gay huh.

Rural Virginia is conservative but practically every small town has liberals and gays in it. I don't know specifically about Lexington but I read that they voted for Hillary.

Working so well for them they closed until July 5th... Snort

Thanks waterhill.

Rumor says they are serving gerbils.

[Liz]

You are so right....she wasnt even on the premises.

One of the homos called her to let her know Sara was in the place.

Her big mistake was driving in to see if it were true....then throwing Sara out.

Any competent software shop keeps the content under source code control and deployed after test verifies it passes QC/QA. Just pull the last release and reinstall. If you are modifying your live production site with no backups, you deserve the consequences.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree with your take on it, but I am addressing this as a layman. I’m not involved in the handling of that type of software, but the concepts are pretty easy to grasp.

Everything you say is possible. Well, since I'm inundated with liberals where I live, I would say they know her Pavlovian response through her everyday conversation and unprovoked rants against Trump & conservatives. I'm husband has given up calling an acquaintance because he says he's close to suicide over Trump. The man is one of Broadway's most successful actors and is a blithering idiot.

Just like a Conservative eating there after one of the Gay Waiters spits in his food (ala Jesse Jackson)?
