Hacker Attack -- Please Help

Postby Roll » Wed May 19, 2004 11:23 pm

(Admin: Unsure of where this topic belongs...please move if not appropriate here.)

A few days ago somebody maliciously attacked the server of Planet Mega Man (one of my site's affiliates), causing everything to crash and many files to be lost. I don't know if anyone else here frequented this site, but at this time the staff is looking to recover recent news articles, especially coverage concerning E3. If you happen to have any of these pages or other files in your cache, please forward them to the administrator ASAP via the link provided at the site.

Likewise, if you have any information as to who was responsible for this attack, your info would be MUCH appreciated and rewarded.

Wow, sorry to hear that Roll. I hope the staff finds out the little wretch that did that. It never fails to amaze me how sad people can act online. Before you know it your site will be back up and running. I know it stinks now, but before ya know it things will be back to normal. I really hope they do catch the person though.

That's too bad...;__; My sister really likes that site, too. We knew it was down but unfortunately I don't think we have any of the old articles or anything. Now images on the other hand...*laughs*

BOOSTER: What? THIS thing's a cake?

(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

Well that stinks :shady:

I've actually never been to the site, so I certainly dont have any stuff from it saved :lol: This probably is already obvious to you in hindsight but... it always pays to make backups. I'm not sure what kind of E3 coverage you had... was it videos? If so you could probably find some replacement/substitute online somewhere. Gamespot has lots of E3 coverage but you need to be a member to see most of it :P

Well that really stinks -_-...I go there all the time. I have quite a few images from the site. Maybe that would help? (I have one E3 pic, but that's about it)
