Subject: Site's Back!

Written By: Apricot on 02/19/07 at 6:09 pm

Sweet Jesus, Thank God, it's back online!

Did any of you realize how dependent you really are on this site? The whole time it was down, every 10 minutes, for the time each night I was on, I'd click the favorited link and be like "F--K!"

With the Saturday I had, I thought it was just me. I'm glad the site is back. I've been Jonesin' pretty bad.

I spent most of the time curled up in a ball crying... nah... I screamed a lot, and then focused on my proof-checking of the amIright book.  Still got a bunch to get done before the weekend.  Still got a bunch of server cleanup left too... ugh, not enough hours in the day

I was surprised how not totally lost I was while the site was gone.  It gave me time to watch my DVD box sets that I've been neglecting.  I watched 2 seasons worth of TV shows in 3 days ;D

I actually spent time on other sites I've been neglecting because this is my primary one.

You belong to other sites?  Shame on you! :D

Actually, I belong to like 6 other boards myself that I hardly ever visit.  While the site was gone, I took the time to visit them, which took a total of 15 minutes LOL

I cleaned my room on Saturday, and Sunday I spent ALL day with a good friend. He spoiled me and my daughter and took us  out to lunch, then to Stone Colds for some ice cream , after that to a movie to see Terabithia, and then to El Toritos for dinner. By the time I got home I was so tired I went to bed. :)

As Chucky said, a hacker broke into the server and he had to rebuild and re-upload the site.

Yes...well, I guess I realized that I am more addicted to the site than I thought I was.....although, I can say that I did get to bed earlier, and I was able to finish watching my Season 1 of "Ghost Whisperer". :D

Chucky, do you have any idea who the hacker was?

DaveyBoySmith poked around at the stuff he left on the server before it was formatted.  Best we could gather, it was someone in Taiwan, using Gmail to launch phising schemes against Canadian banks.  He was also launching automated FTP attacks against various servers, I got a dozen or so nasty emails from people he was flooding with traffic.

He got in with a kernel exploit.  Turns out, the hosting company sold me a server two months ago with a two year old kernel installed.  I've been running all the update scripts, but it turns out you need to run the kernel updates separately from the others.  Won't happen again, I wouldn't accept the server back unless the kernel was up to date.
