Site defacing?

Well just recently my forum was defaced. Had a pic of a guy with an rpg and it was hosted by imageshack. I contacted them to no avail. So i finaled a complaint with FBI and nothing. But they had some kind of wierd music. That iraqy stuff.

After tracking down there site, there from albania. Last i heard it was being investigated

Then one of the other same type of hobby oriented sites got defaced. It said something about dying then iraq and palenstine needed to be free.

Then if left these peoples email. So should they file. with the fbi would it do good?

I don't understand.


And how do we delete posts? Most forums have a handy "delete" button when it comes to editing user's posts.

I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say. What are you talking about? What forum? What music? What Iraqis?

Is this a joke?

If I understand what I think you're trying to say, I have to wonder what makes you think that the FBI would actually spend any time whatsoever on this . Why not just use the online storage that your ISP (hopefully) provides you with.

*If you're using imageshacks free image hosting I highly doubt they really care much either. Free is just that. One can only wonder what happens when you click on the "free ****" link on their site . Free something a guy might not want.

Have you contacted your host to see if you can un-hack the site, or are they being idiots?

If I'm not wrong, you are a R/C enthusiast? Shoot me a PM and I'll pass along my club's site.

Okay, so your site was defaced, why not just fix it instead of leaving it up to show everyone that they need to die and special phornication to the President?

Ok, what happened if I understand it correctly is this: They HACKED into his site, and DELETED it. Uploaded their filth, and then got away scott free. It's not as easy as just deleting a post.

If that's the case, then:

- he needs to move his site to a server where someone actually cares about security.
- the FBI actually WOULD be interested in that. Hackers always leave clues behind, and the FBI might be interested in prosecuting computer crimes perpetrated by Islamic extremists. It might lead to other Islamic extremists.

However, if he used the same spelling, grammar, and punctuation in contacting the FBI, they just might write it off as a joke. Another good reason to pay attention in English class.
