What happened to www.seo-guy.com?
Everyone is wondering, what happened to www.seo-guy.com well here is the scoop.
I went on Vacation in Mazatlan, and decided to do some work on my site and upload via ftp, using the wireless internet connection at the hotel. Well guess what! The connection was not properly encrypted, and some script kiddy hackers managed to packet sniff the transmissions and gain access to our server. They completely overwrote EVERY file that was on the www.seo-guy.com with some page in portugese that had a picture of a monkey with George Bush's head on it being held up by its arms and the caption "Kenny my arms are tired" - At least they have a sense of humor.
Anyways that is the long and the short of it kids, they took down the site, the forum, the tools, the mail server EVERYTHING! so now we are faced with the task of fixing this senseless attack - lesson learned, never use wireless connections in hotels - or is it never go on vacation?
Thanks for your patience guys

It appears that the same thing happened to http://www.phpbb.com/ accept they were attacked because of their use of "awstats"
Guess that covers using a public network 101. That sucks man. I hope you guys get that sorted out soon without "too" much hassle.
I believe it is called Karma..Have you ever wondered why when you piss so many people off that things like this happen? Now was it hackers or was it your inept admin of your server for www.seo-guy.com
Wow, looks like someone loves me :) Nice to see you were a coward and posted as anonymous.

Holy crap Morgan...
Sorry to hear you got slimed...:-( Some pieces of garbage have nothing better to do with their time I guess. Jealousy is an ugly beast too... The better our results get for our sites the more hackers seem to be atempting access to our servers. Maybe they should put as much effort into improving their own reslults.
Better days,
