Are the script kiddies still around?

#1 Postby Chacor » Mon Feb 12, 2007 7:41 pm

Hmm... the old thread on the board being hacked has disappeared, and Category 5's post in Talkin' Tropics re. satellite imagery of 2006 storms has changed to a post by "Jim Cantore". Are the script kiddies still messing around? Is there anything we can do?

I was wondering what happened to Category 5 who was later changed to Jim Cantore. I suspect hackers and script kiddies. I wonder why they would attack this forum???????? I've seen this happen at political boards and that is not surprising, but a weather board????????????? :roll:

I think this may be related to the server move - if the new server was not firewalled, it'd be wide open to a hacker attack.

Yea, so I made a new Category. :wink:

I like this name better actually. I should send mr. Script Kiddie the phone number for Jack Kevorkian as a token of thanks. 8-)

I'd be giving him a favor.
