The Church of Buffett,Othodox has been DEFACED and trashed..... I hope Kim and Chris had it backed up.

I hope the BLEEPING BLEEP BLEEP BASTARD is CAUGHT SOON and PROSECUTED AND HIS PUTER IS FRIED!!!!
BLEEPING SCRIPT KIDDIES!!!!
No telling where the BLEEPING BOZOS WILL STRIKE NEXT

Sam-
I saw that about 3:30 AM this morning. What an A-HOLE that idiot is.
If it's that same loser whose I.P. # we checked, we know he's from somewhere in Halifax, Nova Scotia, but that's it.
I also e-mailed Chris to let him know.
Not that that will do any good-I don't think he's been on the site in over two years.

I dunno who did but I emailed Chris and TP and you and some others.
Hopefully Kim had it backed up and can restore it soon.

I don't know if it is the same BLEEPING Bozo or not....But I am mad enough to eat nails and spit bullets....

I hope they soon catch the bastards!!

I would love to pour 5 gallons of salt water on their puter, then shoot it, then beat it with a baseball bat,then shove all the pieces up their ASS!!

Looks like, all they hit were the Forum/BB section rest of the site looks ok ...

I don't get there much these days.. but what a bunch of @ssholes.

WPS

I don't go there at all, but what a bunch of poopieheads to do that! I'm sorry, CoBO-ites.

THAT just ruined my day
I just talked to Chris about the site recently too...
I've always kept one foot in the water over there as that is where I 1st posted on any Buffett board

That sucks, I hope you can find the B@sta*rd(s).....

I've never been a church goer, but I feel for my phellow phriends. Hackers s***!

Looks like Chris knows now..

We're sorry, the bulletin board is temporarily unavailable-looks like someone broke into the Church and turned over a few pews. We'll work on getting it up and running again...

What did they do?

I don't usually post over there...but I do visit the site frequently.

Thxz (Money)Penny!!!
HUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGZZZZZZZZ

They redid the forum, called themselve(s) a name I won't repeat in here, posted some stupid crap about killing God and the board, and lot foul words over and over in every thread.....and laughing

Typical script kiddie crap....

For good or bad, I'm one of the mainstays at CoB,O, so you can imagine how angry I was/am, and still want to seriously HURT the little bastard that did it.
Apparently somebody also did the same thing to the Parrotkey.com web site/bulletin board about a month ago, and it took Bob (the site owner) two weeks to get it back to normal, but all the posters there had to re-register, and their post counts started at zero.
It was pretty nasty, as is the situation on CoB,O. I just hope to God Buffett News isn't next.

Where did both of the people this affected go?

The older versions of the discussion board software can easily be hacked. BN is up on the latest version of the phpbb software, and there are some other security measures in place.

whew thanks Jim.
I have visions of hanging hackers from trees in the town square and stripping them naked and cutting off their slausens and painting them pink and setting fire to their hair and ....well, you get the picture.
