NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 I was checking my usual bevy of Stargate Atlantis links, and clicked on David Hewlett's A Dog's Breakfast (or for me, dgeek.com) and found this horrific notice.

Sorry!

dGeek and adogsbreakfastmovie.com have been hacked/infected and I've been forced to suspend access to them. My apologies to all the fans, but this recent attack is more trouble than I have the skills or the time to recover from. I may be able to get something back up and running again once I'm back on hiatus in October, but honestly given this kind of stupid attack, it just might not be worth the headache and the heartbreak.

All the best,

D! 

As they would say on SOUTH PARK, those b**tards! I can't believe some, grrr, expletive deleted, attacked the dgeek.com site!!!!

ARGH!!! That explains the problems i've had this morning. Whenever i tried to get on my computer threw a fit and started Antivirus scans and said i might be infected with spyware - and given i'm at work, i thought it best not to keep trying.

I can understand his not having time to fix it/being disillusioned etc but truly sad news indeed. :(

Wonder what the heck happened?!

Absolutely horrible person that did this! I hope this is not the end!! A sad day indeed.

The site appears to be back, so you may want to check it out. I didn't get any warnings for spyware or anything.

There's a community of squirrels on LJ at adb_squirrels. They're organising a postcard campaign to lift David's spirits - I'll probably join in myself!

Sucks big time and I wish there was some way to fix the problem.

Is it only on dgeek.com? I was able to get on dogsbrekfastmovie.com yesterday.

Sucks. Mean people suck. I hope he gets it back going soon. Or I look forward to his Twitters.

Some people have assholes and other people simply ARE.

So sad. Honestly the Joomla software is so complicated compared to something like Wordpress, I guess it must have vulnerabilities. It might have even been a robot that did the hacking, just looking for ways to get in and add porn links or whatever. I hope it wasn't a person purposefully doing it :(

I wish David would reconsider and I'd be glad to help him if there were some way I could. I bet lots of web folks would be willing.

How freaking sad! Is there somewhere fans are gathering to commiserate?

The ADB attack left me speechless. It's unbelievable! It hurt so much to read David's note, he seemed to be so very disheartened and crestfallen! Hope that's not the end of ADB and that he'll be able to get a lot of it up and running again during his hiatus, when the initial shock is over and when he remembers that so many fans love his site!

People who have nothing better to do with their time than to annoy others like that, who hack sites and create viruses and troll around with absolutely no respect towards others are simply evil and there are no excuses for what they do.

Noooooooooooooooo :( I'm sure somewhere out there is some computer god who adores Hewlett and will volunteer his/her services! There MUST be!

*&^%$#@! WTF?
People that do this kind of thing have no life. Seriously.
Total sewer rats.

I hope someone is able to help David out and get the site(s) back up and running.

Oh, poor David.

And those hackers are complete fucktards. Nuff said.

I just went to the site & it seems to be working just fine. Perhaps the problems were solved.

Whoa, it is... no virus problems that I could see.
