Brother Adam Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 I appreciate the offer to help. I'm beginning to be over all not satisfied with my current host as it is. They are very inexpensive, but this kind of thing can happen. I'm not willing to spend $150 (even in donations) when we have most of the files. We will have to mainly rebuild Catholic Wiki, and several registrants will have to reapply for the forums. We will come back stronger, it is just a matter of the time needed to get back up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groo the Wanderer Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Be sure to report it to the FBI...have them file it as a 'hate crime' THAT might get some attention... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 For those PM'ing me offering donations. $150 to access yesterdays backup is just not worth it. You are always welcome to donate to help us upgrade security, pay for hosting, buy non-Catholics materials, and such, but I really must insist that you not send a donation for this reason. As Dust knows all to well the monthly operation of a website isn't cheap. What you could REALLY do that would make me happy is to say the St. Michael prayer for websites like this one, Catechetics Online, and Catholic.com that have been being attacked in recent months.

Brother Adam Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 That is not something I will disclose in public for security reasons. The last thing we want is copycats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Adam Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) Well, my cause has been elevated to "Tier 2" technicians to stop the domain name transfer. I'm also able to start adding files back to the site and it is much more secure now. The basic site should be back online by 5. It will take longer with interactive elements like forums, gallery, and chat room. ... I suppose this IS one way to get me to post at phatmass. Just have someone attack my website and bring it down. I had even stopped reading it... Edited September 18, 2006 by Brother Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
