Wtf?

Most of us probably don't have a clue how or why the site was hacked. I think it was a Pygmy terrorist plot to overthrow the government. :fear

Anyone who cares enough to do it needs to get a life and/or find a new hobby.

i think people like that can't "get a life" because girls don't like them and they don't have any real life friends ... and their hobby of looking up porn and chatting on irc and playing w.o.w. has gotten to be a little bit dull so they decide to hack to get a laugh out of it and go back to the usual porn, irc and w.o.w. when they are done.

Good thing I don't IRC and WOW then. lol

Whoever fixed DGN, thank you. I can sleep now.

[Homicidalheathen]

Yes, thanks. I hear you back up every week which reminds me.......gotta go do that myself.

[glc]

yay you're back! woot!

hacking message forums such as this, is this guys hobbie. You know... if you tried to log in while it was hacked.. he most likely has your password. What else do you use this username and password for?

from what i saw, there was no way for anyone to log in while it was hacked. (unless you leave yourself always logged in, i suppose...)

Does anyone NOT leave themselves logged in... ?

Was leaving a message like that consistent with hacking just DGN or could he have taken down the whole server?

[glc]

I was logged in while it happened, I hope this fucker doesn't have any of my info. fucker.

Got to feel priveliged but, someone thought dgn was importsnt enough to hack, or it's peoples important enough to inconvinience,

He's still a fucker though!

If this WAS Troy, sorry, but I'm assuming no. Did anyone else get one?

[BrassFusion]

kudos to getting it back up so fast. not that i have much experience with stuff like this, but i expected it might last more than a day.

did anyone follow the link, and if so, what happened?

[glc]

not me, I guess you're just lucky!

[glc]

Ha, Erin, you beat me to the reply! that was to xbrutalX

but no, didn't follow it

[xBrutalBeautyx]

I think I better change my email and password.......

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

If your browser remembers your login and just logs you in when you come to DGn.. then it has set a cookie. That cookie sends your username and password to the site when you come to DGN and then it logs you in automatically...

If that guy was any good at what he does, and he seems to be, his scripts would capture you username and password... along with your IP address...

What else do you use this username and passowrd for?

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

BTW.. he most liekly has DGN user database... which means he has your email address....

[xBrutalBeautyx]

Nothing else, thankfully.

[glc]

Fuck this.

[xBrutalBeautyx]

I guess I should change it anyway.......Just to be safe....

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

the link.. among other things.. installed a bot on your pc

[glc]

Anything from just visiting the page? or did you have to click it to do any damage?

[Gauge]

myspace linked people may want to do a password change if thats the case. . .

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

and Torn.. it doesn;t matter that people could not log in.. thier browser still sent the login information.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

OH.. and the guy has a nice list of valid, or mostly valid, email addresses he can now sell to spammers.
