What happened today on GBO?

[osceola]

There obviously was a hack into this website today.  Those of us that viewed earlier today saw what the crazed/venomous person or persons that want to do us personel harm are all about.  My questions are:  1. What has GBO done to prevent this in the future?  2. Does this person or persons now have our e-mail addresses?  3. Who should a member contact if they are confronted with any fallout from this?  4. Has GBO contacted or can they contact the authorities about this mentally unstable person/persons?

I do appreciate this website, Thank You.

Hig all,
 I'm the wbmaster fropm TexasBoars.com
 This guy is an amature and gets his kicks doing this. He's done it to about a dozen outdoor sites in the last 4 - 5 days.
 Mine was hit last Saturday but I had a bit more security measures up which prevented so many posts.

 All are the same, he sets up posts that that keeps adding smilies. and aventually crashes small servers. Or adds so many symbols that the file can't load. Which leaves a everlasting impression of (censored word) (thats who he call himself).
 he has an e-mail and can be reached at stpcia@yahoo.co.uk

Trying to get in touch with GB now to see if he's willing to join a group effort regarding the (censored word). and try and help him with some advice on how to remove some of this guys last posts,, which will be the hardest because they lock up the browser.

I have tried contacting you but I'm sure you are busy with (censored word) and his mayhem.
 You may find some  of his last post are very difficult to remove.
Again, as I have tried to e-mail you,
 You may find it helpfull to shut off ALL HTM and BBCODE in the the  ADMINSTARTORS CONFIGURATION AREA.
 This will prevent the the browser from locking up when you try to load and delete his post.
 Klingons IP seems to remain the same. I aint sure if its bounced for protection or not, but it does remain constant and can be blocked through administartion (for now).
 Looks like the final posts are the ones hanging up, last check you only had 10 left of over 100.

 I have continuously contacted yahoo and and sympatico.ca (last place the IP traced to) to try and have this guys accounts frozen they will not reply.
 I think its time we started a MASS COMPAIGN of mailings to YAHOO.COM to get their attention and take action against this guy.

 We should try to arrange some sort of mailing to a high political figure who would be supportive against a ANIMAL RIGHTS TERRORIST PERSON and do something about this guy. He openly brags on his accomplishments.

My e-mail is kevin@texasboars.com for whoever may be interested in trying to get something done to help prevent this from happening to someone else. I can assure you,, he is looking for his next victim now!
 Good Luck

Kevin, I started on e-mails when I got back from the doctor's office this morning. Pulled a muscle in my back or something. Got shots and prescriptions and hope to get better soon.

But as soon as I saw the flood of e-mails telling of problems on site I went there and saw the magnitude of it. I headed up to Matt's computer store and got online with the T1 line on two computers at same time and made it all go away. Got rid of the nude for avatar first, then the hard core porn and then all the rest.

Yup some of them were a real pain to deal with as the file size was so large. On the T1 it down loaded and deleted OK and I had two going at same time to make it double fast.

I'll e-mail you when I get to your e-mail in the long list. Bet I have a hundred or more telling me fo problem. Thanks to all who pitched in to help.

He didn't flood my server too much really as it should be able to handle about anything he throws at it. I'm on one of the two or three largest in the nation.

I told GB that I thought you were having trouble with the same guy at texasboars.com, and sure enough it was the same guy.  Who ever he is, he is a wierdo for sure.
