i wandered over here because of the hack on the other site. i was looking for info from others that might be members of both sites.
it's good to hear in the post from matilda that perhaps it was just a "cosmetic" hack and it can be restored soon. hopefully this guy hasn't, errr, improved his skills?
and marissa, i also had my ebay account hacked once as well. i didn't know it until i got my credit card bill the next month and there were seller's fees on it. i hadn't used the site in years. fortunately it got more or less straightened out, but now i'm completely paranoid about the info i put out there.
i'll hang around here for a while. if anybody else that's a member there as well gets any more info, please let me know!

I googled his name, and it seems that he hacks heaps of sites. Sometimes he leaves a message for admin- telling them that they have lax security, and leaves an email address (always varies). Not sure whether he asks for money or what. As far as I can see he doesn't wreak havoc.

Welcome to OB- this is the only forum I participate in- there is so much information and people are so friendly and helpful that I have no reason to check out another forum.  |

I also have had problems accessing this orchid geek site. I wanted to review a post there. Today when I tried to log in, I could not. This has been happening for the past 4 days or so. I first thought it was my computer, but I don't have problems with any other connection. Does anyone know have an email address for them so I can find out what is happening? I hope it is them and not me!! thanks
