GearHead-EFI.com Hacked and deleted!

[EagleMark]

Someone hacked the GearHead-EFI.com server early this morning and stole and delted it's entire contents. Server logs show the IP address and tracked it in Washington near Seattle. Police there are attempting to track down the location!

I don't have any enemies, just one person I can think of that would do this out of envy/jeaousy and rage! Because of what I know. He happens to live there. Is a known lier, cheat and has been involved with stealing 2 other data bases from websites to make the one he has now where people are banned if they link here! Kind of ironic ay?

I hope the IP can be tracked to him this time.

Mark,

Any indication on how they got in?

Feel free to PM/email me if you don't want to discuss in public. May be able to get you some assistance.

Server people said hacked, IP adress logged, police notified, all security passwords have been changed. Server is GoDaddy so I would think everything that could be done is. They have gone out of there way to help, track, report this as well as go over all I can and need to do to prevent this from happeneing again. Since pentagon and CIA servers were hacj\ked this year I don't think it can be totally prevented by a good hacker.

If you have any specail skills we could use beyond what was mentioned please feel free to PM me! This website hsa always been a team effort.

Strange how they only stole GearHead-EFI.com folder and deleted it when done? Could have easily deleted or stolen all other websites on my server?

You also posted a link recently to a Chinese site which connected you with stolen or pirated documents. Maybe you got someone's attention?

We'll know if we start seeing pirated copies of the lookup program floating around.

Wow. If everything was deleted, how come we are still here? I am guessing there was a backup of the complete site stored somewhere seperately?

I doubt that was the cause, but I am going to delete that thread. It was only meant to show what tech the Chinese have stolen from us and then blatantly put up to prove? I don't know what they were trying to prove.

I learned a long time ago that the best Webmaster is Jesus! Why? Because Jesus saves!

It was 2 hours work but as far as I can tell we didn't loose a post. Also just found out they tried to get data base but were unsuccessful. So php database is where posts are...
