Hacker Alert

Post by bmr »

Hey Crew,

About ten minutes ago I looked at kitesnowboard.com's site to see if they had any new pics up, just to find myself invaded by java pop-ups stating the site had been hacked. They eventually stopped but then the page began to go to the hacker's website. Needless to say I didn't stick around long enough to view it and disconnected immediately.

Just wanted to let you all know if you should have any security-type peaves like I do. Malicious hacking sucks!

C ya in d snow (or above it),

Yep, it looks like the attack on the site was short-lived, they must have just hit it last night....WEIRD.

C ya!
