[size=x-large]This happened last year at the same time. My site as well as all of my "webmaster's" sites have been hacked, too. I pray that this is not personal, just random. If you have to contact me, please email me at backwoodsdetectors@comcast.net
Thanks Richard[/size]
 
I don't know if you have the capabilities to do this or not, but I prohibit all foreign traffic to my web sites. I only do businsess in the US and don't do any business internationally. Therefore I have no reason let anybody outside of the US access to my servers. This includes any foreign hackers. If they want to hack me they have to do it via a US based IP address.
 
If the website been hacked more than one time then you are running some type of php scripts on your website that have security holes in it. You should update your php script before using it again. Also maybe your host operation system have a security hole as well too and need to be patched.

And claiming to be the cable Internet provider and asking several key questions and bam all you're info taken. It stinks!!! What is wrong with this world. Too many good people like you. Richard get shafted by. Dirtbags thieves. Man this www. Is just full of holes and an easy mark. Things were so much simpler. 30-40 yrs ago. Chin up Sir im sure it's not personal. HH c t
 
Sorry Richard to hear your site has been hacked, I have been in business for 30 years now and have never had so many problems with fraud.
Seem's most are based in the US but will ship the product out of the country.
I just got one of my 705's back that was shipped to Houston TX, police called me and they intersepted the shipment that was headed overseas.
So in this case I was lucky and thanks to the police I got the 705 back.
This has forced us to take unpresented measures to identify fraud orders but the amount we get is out of control.
The fraud orders I am receiving are a result of massive hacks to major companies taking personal and credit card info.
Hope all my fellow dealers are having some success in stopping this and if anyone wants to discuss this further please feel free to contact me anytime, I am happy to help in anyway I can to put an end to this nonsense.

Sorry to hear about your site being hacked.

Did you know that the vast majority of hacking is an inside job? Hacking has always carried a mystique about it and most people visualize some guy using a brute force or password cracker to gain access to server when in fact that is very unlikely. Chance are it was nothing more than an employee who gave out/sold the information to gain access to the server.

I had my card info stolen one time and come to find out my card information was put up for auction to the highest bidder,in China, by an employee that worked at the Apple Store.
 
It's a shame that for every few steps we take forward technologically, we have to take a step back due to these dirtbags! :(.
