At roughly 12:30 PM CST today the site went down in defense mode against an attack from Russia. Not kidding. It was a viscous attack. The site's firewall locked down, like "put up a gate to not allow anyone in".
Did you notice?
We're good now. All the perpetrators have been blocked and reported. Not that it will do any good.
-
Feeling pretty safe in here, thank you!
-
Who would have thought? Russia, why have you forsaken us? :tongue: :tongue: :cheesy:
-
I know why. I keep the codes under my seat......someone found out!
-
Guess that means the new Urals are going to have a transverse V-twin next year. Digging for resources.

THANK YOU! Luap,

I got an email from a Ruskie that said he had turned on my laptop camera and wanted $5k of bitcoins or he'd send the photos on the 'net. I wonder if there's a connection?
Don't look at any PMs :wink:

I just assume they’d be more old movie screenshots (I’m new’ish here, but I like ya already for that :). )
BTW, this post led me to donate for the first time. Hope the little bit helps keep that wall goin’. It’s like Cold War Berlin all over again (minus starving people).

"Wow,,, we gotta one them Domesday Machines! "
And then the Doctor says "Mr President, we must not have a mine shaft gap." Then the doctor smacks himself in the face with his prosthetic hand. :shocked:

Rodekyll is capable of messing up the internet , but his ethics would prevent him from doing so .

Was it related to the grade of oil in the server? :evil:
I wondered why I couldn't use the links in my email notifications. Good on the firewall. :thumb:

Damn commies.

Dorcia follows the news closely and said there have been many internet related issues in the last week. I duuno. I spend my hours in the shop happily whittling away on an airplane project. :smiley:

Do you think that we can 'reverse engineer' the hack ... and start advertising Guzzies in The Motherland? We might get a dealer or two in that part of the world. Maybe...possibly... probably not...nah, forget it.

I have a client that is about to retire from The Office of Homeland Security in Topeka, Ks. he says the Russians are hard at work on this sort of thing (and much more important things) constantly.

I can't reply, I would break the rules.

The scammers....cyber criminals...and other miscreants from the Dark Web are.....

Damn commies.
They do make some nice strippers though. If they're reading this, please send more to NJ!

Glad it functioned as it was designed to. If anyone has not donated this should be a wake up call to the importance of donations for a resource we value!

Agreed. It looks like $1774 is still needed for this year. If eveybody ponied up say 20 bucks, Luap could get his helicopter repaired so he (and Dusty) could get out to the WG yacht.. :evil:
but seriously, folks..the Guzzi knowledge gained from this board is priceless.

Judging from the 2 pages of this thread which has important information to the forum, I'd say that the majority on this thread get it. Operating the forum costs. Everyone else that haven't read this thread and/or not contributed funds to the operation should really consider pushing the tab to contribute money for the operation of the forum.

Keep up the good work, Luap. 7-12-20

I can’t remember if I’ve paid my dues this year or not but seems that now is a good time. Coming your way.

Thank you for your work and the firewall Luap!
