Supposedly the "hacker" was pissed off about getting flamed here on BHW for his dumb ass questions...So he got a lil' angry and did what most immature kids do

So it was an offended bored kid that hacked the site and now grown-ups complain where these youngsters are going. A kid hacked the site, something that most members of BHW cannot do.

I understand the angriness but it is better to focus on making the site not so vulnerable, more secure, because if not all the kids of this world will begin to compete who has hacked better the glorious BHW.

It is not a good sign, if a forum like this is being hacked by a kid. I mean admin and mods, should think about it.

How come some one hacked it on first place? Can he do it again? what steps should be taken to insure that this won't happen again.

I read on the other thread that kids have some fun

haha yeah i can sell you any name you want homie or try to arrange it but.. i didnt deface your site.. we have proven you people the newbies of this site.. not the admin's nor VETS's are the only childish individuals on here.. so stop running your mouth and get back to work

make money not drama

So the right way here to act is to give kids some good lesson and to patch the forum waterholes.

Yesterday at around 2PM EST BHW was hacked. Rackspace called me and alerted me to the problem and said they were going to have the linux team look at things. At 2:15 PM I call them and ask them to see if they can fix it. By 3PM I tell them to just do a restore from the previous day.

For whatever reason they kept delaying (waiting to the tape backups), around 6PM they said they have begun restore. Site is still hacked..called again 8PM they said they tried doing the restore 3 times and it keeps going to hacked site. (I was in a video production class so I couldn't get online on 11PM) Around 12PM site is still saying its been hacked. Rackspace said they were going to restore database from the previous day and it should be fixed.

Someone dropped the ball big time at Rackspace I was very surprised..normally they fix issues like this in 15 minutes.

Someone at rackspace is getting paid off well by those hackers

We lost almost 2 days worth of "stuff"... Make sure you say thanks to the "hackers" that did this.

Rackvibe is where their site IP is located. I emailed them with the particulars........

What words can adequately describe the very stupidity of these guys?

Glad to see BHW is BACK and this time, pretty darn quickly......

Anyway, Thel3vel nameservers is how I found out their actual domain IP.......

Hopefully, Rackvibe will terminate their account on the server.

I know if I was the owner of the server, ALL of their domains would be gone and they would be given the boot......

Hopefully, they will reap the whirlwind on this one......

would only work if it is no dedicated machine though - unless they take the whole box off the net of course
