I’m presuming that it’s just the boards getting hit this time and not the front page. The boards, which run off of a PHP and MySQL codebase, have vulnerabilities in their code that allows for exploits that insert and run malicious code. This is a problem more with the code being run on the server than with the underlying server OS; their server is probably a *nix variant and would have the same problem either way. Nor, for that matter, are *nix systems automatically impervious to all attacks; they just get targeted less often and not in ways that most people hear about.

Correct me if I’m wrong about any of this; I know enough to understand most explanations but not to make good guesses.

(Hmm . . . I’m using a lot of semicolons today.)

Could you Define “hacking” is it legitimate hacking or is it password recovery abuse? If it is actual security problems you could switch your servers over to a unix/linux system to clear up all security.

ARG!!! We were hacked AGAIN and everything is f-ed up… AGAIN.

I officially blame not only Joe Wilson but Kanye West now too. We were doing good, about to give our acceptance speech and WHAM, mic taken right out of our hands.

We ask for patience. Again.

Just want to say hey, I’ve eaten through most of your backlog of shows in the last month and loved them. You’re doing great work!

And, in case you’re wondering what to do with those four crappy-sounding shows, I think I speak for a lot of fans when I say: clean ‘em up as best you can and post ‘em. We’d rather that then have them lost forever. Plus, your sound quality is miles ahead of most amateur podcasts anyway, so “subpar” for you is probably nowhere near “unlistenable”.

I sat through the Vampire Diaries pilot at San Diego Comic-Con, waiting for whatever event was in the hall after it, and every minute it was on, and all through the subsequent panel, I yearned for the sweet release that death would bring. The only real distinction they could offer between that and the Other Vampire Thing was that “our vampires don’t sparkle.”
