CrochetMe Hacked?!

[yarnyviolet]

I tried to log in and it says it has been hacked! I belong to the email newsletter and I hope that it won't affect me. Why do people do these things? It is not like CrochetMe sells anything.

There's another thread about this problem on C'ville. It wasn't very long ago that Annie's Attic was attacked with pornography and they had to shut down their public posting area. I was one of the victims who received the porn.

 

So locked doors don't mean a thing if someone is intent on breaking in.

Thats just so sad that they do things like this. Whats wrong with some people?

I got in ok. Where does it say it was hacked?

[mva5493]

me too, and I was so disappointed when they closed the forums, that was before I found the 'ville and all the other sites that I frequent now.

They had the "hacked" message up earlier tonight. It's been wierd most of the day. When I tried just a minute ago, it looks like it's up, but not quite back to normal yet.

It said it earlier.

I visited the site yesterday and my anti-virus thingy said that a Trojan virus had downloaded to my machine!

It is always sad when things like this happen to people that don't deserve it, some bored adolescent no doubt...hang in there, this to shall pass!

I saw it when it was hacked before Kim put the noticed up that she was working on it.

 

Thankfully, due to AVG virus scanner and the use of Mozilla Firefox, I didn't even come close having anything infect my computer.

I just went there myself and my antivirus said a virus was downloaded. I scanned and it says it couldn't find one. I have no idea if I got the virus or not.. Ugh

I'm not sure which I can't stand more. Hackers and their antics, or the web stalkers that harass people and make their online time no fun at all. Maybe they're sort of one-and-the-same anyway...

 

Hacking a crochet site, though? Whatever for?! To cause grief, obviously, but I'm trying to figure out why hacking into a crochet site would be of any interest to someone who commits such acts.

It's not about a crochet at all. Content doesn't matter to them.

It's about being able to do it. Period.
