And people do this for fun. What sad pathetic creatures they are. Burn them at the stake I say...

#7 by itsrainin - 12/29/2003 12:57:08 AM what moron has a month old backup

The real question should actually be 'Which moron hacks a site that two people have worked hard to build up?'

[Message Edited]

Good grief seriously, i have no sympathy for somebody who doesnt have the common sense to back up a commercial site, I mean come on, if a site is hacked you can freakin re-upload it, even if serious control is taken on a server by a hacker the server owner can restore the system and you upload your backup, its not rocket science, and i love this quote "Website hackers are usually stupid 'kids' with new scrips to play with", well obviously the admin for that site is not much smarter than the hacker who defaced it, if he had a month old backup. Honestly the whole "hacker" thing would not be nearly as bad if people just took precautions and used common sense.

Alexandrie was posting information for folks at this site. There really wasn't any need for your negativity, unless somehow you find joy in someone else's misfortune. So unless you are in need of information concerning your purchases at Pixtudio during the month of December then I would suggest, for the courtesy of all others who might, that you stay off this thread, so that it can get back on topic

Have a Nice Day

no flame needed or intended...

Your posts do yourself justice without a doubt and prove out the fact that your in no need of help at weilding the brushes for the picture you paint...

As far as back up's go, as stated before, monthly back up is more than enough until a need for more is otherwise noticed.

Keep painting, it might get really interesting in the end.

Its not so much that you think they should have done something different. It isn't a bad idea to have daily or weekly backups. The problem is your uncalled for name-throwing. You are adding insult to injury. That makes those sypathetic to the plight of pixtudio mad.

3 in a row rebuffs. guess who has the odds against em

Hey guys....enough already. Johanne took the time and effort to give their customers a heads up that there was a problem and how to resolve it. Period.

I'm confident they have enough headaches without this. How they run their business is just that....their business. If you have some thoughts has to how you would 'Backup' your system or run your own business...start your own thread.

ohhhh ok...

Thanks yrag. Anyways, thats too bad about pixtudios site. Clearly someone has way to much time on there hands to do anything usefull with it. I mean, if this person is intelligent enough to have the skills to hack a site, why not put these skill to good use, with skinning or whatnot? I'm reminded of UzEE unfortuntately, but I still think it would be a better use of time.

An ethical hacker has a career in security waiting. The unethical hacker veiws security from the other side of iron bars

Lets just hope Pixtudio is back to normal soon.

lol i never thought id get a good thread going! maybe this will be the never ending thread that i always dreamed of. but alas we must get back on topic. soooooo in that case, hows the site recovery going????

if that was your only reason shame on you. And I too would like to know how the recovery is doing.

Oh dam. It's like that Pinthar thread all over again, with a little spice of UzEE

lol i never thought id get a good thread going! maybe this will be the never ending thread that i always dreamed of

Sounds like we have another one looking for a 15 mins of fame.
