attacked again by a trojan whilst trying to access hipforums someone sure does have it in for this site i wonder why and i wonder why - you guess
I see a reason to continue it, as the israeli cyberwar machine is still in full throttle. I can't say it was them attacking the site, as the only evidence I see is Russian. But that might just be what someone wants us to think. It would take a lot more to bring down these forums. All I can see is if they don't like threads like these, they can contact me personally about it, instead of hacking the site. That's like the mafia sending Guido to fuck you up, really low class and unworthy of any respect.
HUZZAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! skip comes to the rescue!!! it was the principle of the thing in the end and who would win out , hippyforums and free speech or the people trying to shut it down hippyforums "wins" i guess - for now
+1 You sound like it was only the Hipforums that were targeted. There were plenty of "Free speech sites" (otherwise known as forums) that were not targeted by the whole thing (I'm sure you will say - Yeah, Pro Israeli sites. Ho humus what a surprise that will be). Like Skip mentioned in another thread...it was likely they were after bank details, rather than trying to shut the site down because of "free speech"... I'm not suggesting these things do not occur...but when it's only really coming from you...I'm not overly convinced. I'm glad it's been sorted, anyway.
the problem is that the fanatics that have taken over israel will not tolerate social critique or anything else that questions their ministry of facts. they might well attack their own kind, like gunning down their own prime minister or gunning down people in night clubs who go against the will of jehovah or gunning down the original land owners or crushing them in their houses, within the camp they can silence any dissent to their hearts content but trying that trick on the whole world will be more problematic. problem is, things are only going to get worse.
To repeat My point is that this kind of thing is probably common (coming to sites to spread propaganda and counter opposition), if it isn’t I think governments are missing a very obvious trick that advertisers have long being involved in, I think people would be naive to think it doesn’t happen. BUT on the other hand it should also be remembered that there are those that just have too much time on the hands and are obsessive. The thing is that the recent attack seems to have been financial rather than political, but that is not to say that this place has not been the target of politically motivated attacks although not from a government but from a bunch of malicious right wingers. Anyway we should thank Skip for keeping it all going.
