DIS Dads DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

Nice. I came on and all the other posts were already gone. I’m sure that’s not the first time he’s been cussed out. Although he may have not understood the language.

Yeah I told him he was a worthless piece of crap who didn’t deserve the oxygen he was breathing. And that he was such a b&$@ hiding behind a computer and would never make it in the real world without getting his a$$ kicked. He eventually deleted and locked the board.

Lol. Atta boy. Wish there was some way of tracking these d bags down.

I know. I watch these guys on YouTube who mess with scammers. I wish all these types of low life nothing good in life. I REALLY hope no one paid that ransom. I am retired military guy. We DO NOT negotiate we just send someone in to kick down the door or drop a JDAM in their bedroom at night.

 

[declansdad]

That was pretty crazy, glad they got it back up fairly quickly.

I would be very surprised if they paid. I think if they had, then all the posts would be back. The scammer provides the security code and that's it. But since there are missing posts, I strongly suspect that they just relaunched with a recent backup.

But... I'm not an IT guy. Just figuring from what I've seen/read.

Yeah seems like a plausible theory

Morning, Gents! Wow! What was that? I apparently missed something from the looks of the posts below. Were the boards down due to a hacker? If that's the case that's kind of messed up. I would hope that the IT powers to be fixed that.

On a side note, things are going well. Had my first day flying solo on a reception desk at a primary care office and did, well, ok. No, I did ok, but things just kept coming up that I had to ask someone questions on, and thankfully someone was sitting close that I could lean on. That's it. Have a good day, everyone.

TTFN

Wow! What was that? Did everyone see the “New hacker” post and its demands????

Yeah I was on when it all went down. The hacker kept deleting posts when he made took over that forum with his demands. I sent him/her a nice message of my mind. It is too Rated R to post on here but with scum like that I am sure it didn’t matter.

Pretty nuts. I didn't hear about it until Darcy posted something on the FB group. Glad they were able to restore it, though. I learned that I'd better copy and paste my TR's to a separate document after all that time I spent on them.

Nice to be back here! Lot of history would have just bit the dust if the DIS was not able to recover. Glad they did though. For those that don't use the book of face the good news with our family is that our little girl is going to be a mom and I'm gonna be a GrandPa! Pretty excited and wishing mom and baby al the health and safety possible! Bacon, Bourbon, Cigars and Mickey Bars!

 

[JC1984]

So for my Canadian Brothers. I have been eating these Ruffles they have here in Montana. I don’t know if it a Northern State thing because of proximity to Canada or you can get them all over the US but the flavor (flavour) is All Dressed. It’s says “#1 Flavour in Canada” is this true? Or is this just a clever marketing ploy? I love them it’s like a cross of BBQ and Salt and Vinegar. Comments, Questions, Concerns...

Well, I guess I missed all the chaos with the hacker.

I had tooth bothering me all weekend. Ended up being abcesed. So, I spent most of the weekend in pain and/or trying to sleep. The dis wasn't on the radar.

Went to dentist yesterday, so last night was first good night of sleep in 4 days.

As an IT person, they should be doing backups, but depending on how often will determine how much is lost with a restore. I would presume with the dis, considering it's not mission critical, probably once a day or maybe every 12 hours. I would be quite surprised if it's more frequent than that.

Hopefully law enforcement was contacted and they were able to trace the IP and string the BLEEP up by his balls or similar if female

Congrats Grampa!

They are popular, not sure if it is #1. Personally, I can do without them.

That's a good idea. I'd not be too pleased if I lost all mine, too.

Yup.

Hey! Great news! Congrats to you and your DD!

Took a (very) quick Google and couldn't find anything definitive. But it doesn't appear to be so. I think that's just marketing because it's common up here (as is Dill and Ketchup.) To echo Darcy, it does have its fans, but I'm not one of them. Then again, I really don't care for Salt & Vinegar.
I'm off chips right now, but... I haven't had Sour Cream & Bacon for too long.

Sorry to hear that Doc.

Yeah, they lost at least 12 hours of data. Maybe 24, but not sure about that.

Hopefully law enforcement was contacted and they were able to trace the IP and string the BLEEP up by his balls or similar if female

Doubt it. Looked (from the grammar) like might have been a foreigner. Then again, not sure how they got one of the admin's passwords.

Not multiquoting...
Thanks.

If they lost at least 12 hours, then that would be once a day backups. If 12 hour backup, it would be at most 12 hours lost.(actually 11:59, but I digress)

Sucks when it's foreign...way more difficult to trace and then prosecute (laws vary drastically)

As for how they got the password, there are several ways they could have
Admin ended up getting a keylogger on their computer
Admin had a "bad" password and system did not enforce lockout after X failed login attempts
Hacker was somehow able to get password database, which would give them however long they wanted to crack it
They executed a man in the middle attack, which can either provide them with the password or escalated (admin) privilege as well as the authorized user
There are others, but harder to explain

I've had those chips and like them a lot.

Interesting. What's a "man in the middle attack"?

Unless it was artificial insemination, yes they know the sex. They had to have the sex to make the baby.

I thought Ketchup was #1 up there...

Good Lord, no.
My kid likes it, but... she's the only one I know who does.

 

[declansdad]

Not the first time from what I've heard.

Tastes vary by region.
