Hi Everyone,

Well, my website has been hacked into!  I can't believe it.  Apparently these people hacked into the company that hosts my webpage, so a lot of people's webpages got hijacked.

I'll be uploading the webpage again soon, but thought I'd warn you all what can just happen, and give you the opportunity to take a quick look
http://bears.delartful.com

This is just a quote as to what they say on my webpage:
Only we want to say that Arab Hackers can Take Down The Western Sites . .

It's frightening to think that some kid with loads of time on his hands can hack into sights, however when it clearly looks like it's certain religions (you know who I mean!!!) attacking the Western world again, it's even more scary!!

That is unbelievable Danny. I really thought that websites were safe and secure. Just goes to show that nothing is secure these days. Thanks for posting Danny making us aware of what is happening.

Who hosts your site and what are they saying as far as this goes??  They've got to be scrambling to fix their security holes.  I would venture to guess it's a bunch of brats with no ties what-so-ever to the ramblings on your site.  Just bored juveniles with mommy/daddy money to burn on computers.  It's like that old saying..if they only put it towards good.

Danni, that is so awful, it just goes to show what sort of people we are dealing with, when they will hack into a teddy bear site....

Daphne Oct 23, 2006

Yeah, Danni - who is your web host?????

Good God, that's so scary!!!

I'm so sorry!

This was the work of an intensely stupid white kid, not some fake Arab hacker squad.  Really people, don't believe everything you're told.  A great many crimes are committed in the world today in the name of Muslims, who have no involvement with those crimes.  I looked at the code on this site and seriously doubt, for a great many reasons, that this is anything more than the work of a friendless 14-year-old who thinks "Wingdings" is a cool font and calling himself Arab makes him look really "bad" so he can scare people.  Don't give him the pleasure of being taken seriously.  And Danni, find a more secure host.

Cheers,
Kelly

AwwDanni., i am sorry to hear this....it must be frustrating and invasive feeling to you...hope all comes out all right.

Wow..scary scary scary............and enough to make you spit chips as well............wish you could get a return virus that would blow their motherboard up!! Wish we had the police that could track the brats down and then make illegal for them to touch a computer again for 10 years!!! 

OOOHHH what I'd do to the brats if I could get my sewing hands on them......I have wonderful things I could do with needles....ezspecailly felting needles :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

Hehehe you make me laugh - that's funny - you could always stick your strange bears onto them.

I dunno who did this - I dunno who didn't do it.  Apparently one "gang" of young arabs have been doing very similar stuff, and my server was told it looks like their work- so really we don't know who did it.

All I know is I am going to have up load only the index pages - which isn't a hassle...  just a bit concerning.

THe server is fixing the problems - hopefully they'll get it done right!

Oh Danni! Gosh that is terrible Hon! I sure hope you can save things and do not have to start from scratch. Thank you for the warning. Danni do you mind me asking who your web host is?

Glad to see your website is back to normal Danni.  I had a peek at it last night when it was messed up.  That was scary and just plain sick.

Pumpkin & Pickle Bears Oct 23, 2006

What exactly was on it? When I looked the website was as normal.

Carolyn Green Oct 24, 2006

That is awful Danni and makes you wonder how someone would have been able to do this.

Glad that it is back to normal again.

Hugs

Looks like your bear website is back to normal but your handbag site is still messed up.  I'll have to check back later because I want to see your handbags.  Didn't know you made them.

Thanks for the reminder Patty, I had completly forgot about that webpage!
