    Corey,

    The Skybox has been experiencing some difficulties for several days.

    Today I got an entirely different error.

    Hopefully things will be corrected soon.

    Don

    Ray thinks some hackers might have been causing some problems.

    I have no clue as to whether Ray thinks it might be Ruskies...I think he's sure it's the rebirth of the CSA Hackers, mostly guys from 'bama I believe. Just a prelude to what they are going to do when they resume their regular jobs as SEC refs! :)

    ha!

    well if you hear anything let me know. between sql injection and ddos attacks, i've had a lot of experience countering these things lately. its been fun really. it has been an opportunity to put some misspent youth to good use.

    My home system has been running real slow since I had problems with Skybox the other day.

    It keeps running and running even when I am more or less stuck waiting for a page to load and I started to wonder if a BOT had taken over my computer.

    Now I see it wasn't just me so I am really starting to wonder now especially since I got one of those "your online banking account" security is threatened sent by my real bank instead of a scam bank.

    Hmmmmm.....

    Guys may help a little....I have used Cnet.com and then forums and computer spyware/virus pages. They give you the best and most trusted sites to clean your computer.

    I did it a couple weeks ago, downloaded free cleaners they recommend then after cleaned I remove the download.....


    Way too much time on their hands these computer geeks hurting other peoples stuff

    Guys, don't confuse virus attacks with hacker attacks. Hackers get into your system to obtain information or to maliciously change settings. They rarely infect systems with a virus.

    Five members have already sent us messages to be added to the distribution list. We can remain in contact with these members if anything catastrophic happens to the database on the Skybox.

    Please keep those cards and letters coming.

    Bumping this back to the top...

    Members, please go read the last post I just made in the E-mail registration very important... please read topic. It is very important due to the errors we have been seeing in the past week.

    Only 16 members (including Bill, TOK, and Cindy) are included in my distribution list. Please send in your prefered e-mail address. I have a few people in my contacts that have not sent the message. I am going to include them and send out a test of the distribution list.

    I just sent a test of the distribution list. If you sent a message with your preferred e-mail address and did not receive a test message, please respond here.

    I created a secondary distribution list to send to people in my contacts that are or were known members. KP responded to that message and has now been added to the primary distribution list.
