Well, I guess we got hacked...
Looks like the attacker didn't do any actual damage though, just changed a single page which, in our case broke the entire site. It was easy to fix, but irritating none the less...
Sorry, guys and gals.

Mon, 2008/06/02 - 5:36pm — PetrucciisGodHe's hacked over, I think, 200,000 websites. I did some research on him. He's the biggest hacker on the net, he rarely does any damage, but he sure is annoying. He's hacked government webpages of Greece, and Italy and some other countries to preach religious propaganda.

Thanks guys. I freaked out
Mon, 2008/06/02 - 11:26pm — AdminThanks guys.
I freaked out at first, but when I googled the hacker, I found the same info you did.
Wasn't too bad
He actually nailed all the websites that are on the same server as us.

Tue, 2008/06/03 - 9:25am — mself61strange thing though... if I try and open the site with IE7 the hacker page shows up <(8I , Firefox works though, wonder whats happening here. Well after clearing my temp files, cookies and history IE7 is working right, SO if you use IE7 and this is happening you will need to clear that out probably. Im also wondering if it is the same person that kept posting those other non-sense post with links to who knows where?. anyway good to be back but please sign up on the google site as well in case something happens we can all betch about it there and KEEP in contact.

Thu, 2008/06/05 - 12:29pm — mself61I just had to clear my browser cache and Temporary Internet Files for IE then it worked again, I did delete my links as well and re-bookmarked them.
I have notice quite a bit of stuff has been lost or missing here and I will as soon as I get a J.O.B. start posting all the tlse patches and other related files I can find to the google site for back-up and downtime purposes.
you might want to save the link at least as Kaal has.

Steve...
Clear your cache's and temp files and maybe even your history, delete all the links and make new ones.
if it still comes up maybe he hacked your PC too, so then you might do a virus scan.

Thu, 2008/06/12 - 11:08pm — AdminJust this morning I was comparing Google to the Borg.
"We are Google. You will be assimilated. Your technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile."
Don't get me wrong. I use Google for everything. Including hosting all my personal, and professional email with "Google Apps for Your Domain." And I went to a huge Google developer conference a couple of weeks ago to figure out how to do further integrations between my work website and Google.
I'm just saying... they remind me of the Borg... Though, one of Google's mottoes is "Don't be evil".
I some how figure that
Fri, 2008/06/13 - 9:19am — mself61I some how figure that Google will follow suit with the housing market and take a big dump. I don't know why but it just seems "to good to be true" the amount of income or profit they have made. but then to the "owners" it will be no big deal if it crashed. they already have enough to build their own space colonies and travel to distant planets, they could be greater than any nasa space plan even. someone slap me out of this trance !!!

Fri, 2008/06/13 - 2:37pm — PetrucciisGodHeh, I think Google is one of the only big corporations that isn't pure evil in this country... Voted best place to work in America is something to be proud of. None of their services cost me anything, and I've been happy using them to search the web, do standard to metric conversions with their calculator, or connect to a pizza place when I'm on the road and I don't have their number. Google FTW.

These are actually all
Sat, 2008/06/14 - 1:06am — kaalThese are actually all reasons why I am a bit suspicious. As we say:
Umsonst ist nur der Tod – und der kostet´s Leben ("nothing in life is for free, except death - and even death will cost - your life")
I am sure they do everything on purpose - google is not at all stupid. I dont believe that they are evil, but I am not sure whether I particularly like what they are doing (or can do) with the massive amounts of data they collect.
It's a strange world.
ahhh, kaal is the wise one

Sat, 2008/06/14 - 7:33am — kaal... which reminds me on the following:

"I believe your English is Polish enough".
Kaal, from Austria
and to think some crazy a$$
Sun, 2008/06/15 - 7:46am — mself61and to think some crazy a$$ is gonna sit up late night analyzing all the data they've collected <(8/~~~
oh wait.. they'll just get a PC to do it.
but what about all that phony data ?
