Cellar briefly hacked
 

The entire system was hacked tonight and was down for two hours. It was a defacement hacking. All sites on my server were affected. All are restored. Total down time was 2 hours. The back door they used is a known one and I am to be slapped around because I left it open for a convenience.

So...didja save any screenshots?

Yeah, I saw it 'spode.

I said Saudis Suck or something. I closed the window real fast.

I was IM'ing with my 17yo nephew when I noticed this. The conversation went:

me: uh oh looks like a web site I visit just got pwned
him: ...
him: uhhhh
him: did you just use the word "pwned"???

And so I had to splain to him that even though I seem old and stuffy to the untrained teenage observer, that I do know some interesting things.

It was an amusing moment, though I'm sorry it came at your expense UT.

I can still see the hacked page -____-

I am terminally *un*hip. What the hell does "pwned" mean?

I got it. :eyebrow:

Els: pwned

A deliberate mispelling of "owned", or "got the better of".

[edit]: What he said.

You know, this is all the fault of those This Is Not Porn dweebs.

Does the gibberish under the photo mean anything in technoslovokian?
Fast clean up UT, above and beyond as usual.

Griff: Roughly translated into english: We completely own this computer and can do what we want, we would like to get laid one day but this is a second best that keeps us going for now.

i wonder if it's "teh 1337 hax0r" who erased his own drive.

Thanks for fixing the login. I was unable to get back on the Cellar after the hack, probably because I don't save my cookies.

Well, there are so many hackers out there. I'm just glad some people are helping us learn to identify them. (Courtesy of my nephew.)
