Loading ...As sad as it is, we got hacked… some stupid Russian hacker put Direct X and other malicious applications in the website. We had Java running, Direct X and even some weird program I never head about. The problem was coming only from Internet Explorer. Firefox was fine and I never even noticed about the Direct X until I got to school, opened Internet Explorer and saw the Direct X running on a new window.
I first noticed something weird loading in firefox everytime I opened my website… on the down left corner of Firefox’s browser I saw a loading thing and it said “waiting for try-count.net” or something like that… I contacted my host but then I had to go, I went in this morning to my site and there was nothing wrong with it and now about 15 minutes ago I went to my site again and saw the Direct X, so I rapidly contacted my host and here is how it went.
Please wait for an operator to respond.

Very nice try, So here is a big Old F**k You to the bastard that tried to hack us. Next time try a little hard you piece of s***t, I’ll contact your host as soon as possible and yes I know how to talk to them in Russian :).
And no, I don’t have trouble with the Russians, I have a problem with the Russian F***r that hacked us.
I also made a thread in Digital point… you might want to read it.

I know how you feel. I was hacked and the same group of bastards dismantled my pc from the inside out - they removed all my network folders from within windows, so basically all that was left was a shell… I could access and boot my pc, but all the main file to allow the programs to run properly were destroyed. They deleted all my pics too and replaced them with registry files etc.
I had to wipe my harddrive and get another one.
And the problem will continue to get get worse — as they can operate with java that is embeded in flash — so even advertisers who have a file checker, the technology is so lacking in file algarythem detection , that the technology these guys areusing is so far advanced that the file checkers will miss the malicious code from within the flash.
It sucks.
