Has anyone else received the crazy emails from the "marokki" guys this past friday and sat? Disneyworld trivia was obviously hacked into this weekend and they send out some weird stuff about Bush and making threats? anyone?
 
I dont have anywhere on my email that I can report it...but i got an email from lou (dw trivia website host im guessing) saying all is taken care of. The hacked emails were a bit scary though...
 
Yes, I got 2 of them also. Then this morning, I got an email directly from Disney World Trivia.com appologizing and explaining it. It was very wierd though!
 

I got two of them as well. I reported as spam!!
 
I got the emails too. :worried: Unfortunately I went to the site before I got the email and found out what happened. :sad2:

Very strange since the site is actually very light hearted, heck we don't debate anything except maybe what to make for dinner. LOL

Luckily, Lou has made sure the content is not repeated on the site and he has posted this....

As you may be aware, the home page of the DisneyWorldTrivia.com forums was down for a few hours on Friday, September 1, and again Saturday morning. The forums were temporarily closed for software upgrades, testing and security enhancements. I am also aware that some members received inappropriate emails that appeared to come from this site, and that issue has been remedied and tested as well. Please understand that those emails were NOT from DisneyWorldTrivia.com, and the messages therein did not come from me or the site.

I cannot express how devastated I am that this has happened to the members of the community. It appears as thought it was not a targeted attack, but an exploitation of a small vulnerability in the chat software we were using, and has been fully resolved. We are no longer using that software, and will not in the future. While I did not know about this until after it had taken place, I take personal responsibility for this and offer you my sincerest apologies. I hope that this in no way diminishes your opinion of me, the site or the community.

....Also, I have reported the attack and necessary information to the proper authorities. ....My sincere thanks once again for your support, understanding and patience.

What a classy guy!!! Being hacked is in no way his fault but he has taken responsibility for the offensive nature of what thos idiots sent out and made apologies.

DWT and the disboards are my two favorite sites :thumbsup2 , I sincerely hope this does not happen here.
 
I got mine, just sent it as a reply to Lou. Got the email back from them yesterday. It's a shame that folks have to try to ruin everything. :(
