See Barney? That's how I feel right now.

Well, I now know what I'm doing instead of having that relaxing weekend I've been dreaming about: Restoring my web site, which got HACKED. (Fuck!)

Just as a public service, since I've spent all day dealing with this shit, ( here's some tips. )

psa, site: leavemethewhite, fuuuuuuck, site: vm-caps

Tell me about it. On both counts.

That sucks balls. My gallery seems to be fine, and feel free to delete the old gallery (I have 1x02 caps saved on my computer, I just have to sort out the order).

I also think your [insert expletive] icon would be appropriate.

Just what you need when you're already feeling run down: HACKERS!

So true. Also, this one. *points*

That's awful! I'm sorry. Don't have much to say beyond that, except I hope it gets resolved as quickly as possible.

The biggest problem is that there's still no fix from Coppermine itself, so until they plug all the leaks and release a new version, it can probably happen again. So the real fun will be tomorrow, when I can see if I've been re-hacked (meaning my precautions weren't enough).

That is... wow, incredibly shitty. I'm sorry I have no means of assistance to offer, but I'm sending good don't-get-re-hacked thoughts your way, and evil evil thoughts at the hackers. >

I like the part about the evil evil thoughts. I'm doing a fair bit of that myself.

Gaaah, I hate people. Sorry you're having to deal with this shit. UGH. Also, shout if you need any help sorting this out!

Thanks, I might just take you up on that! I think the real issue is that Coppermine has still not gotten their act together and issued a new release that deals with this problem (if the forum posts are anything to go by, this whole thing started three days ago!) Worst case scenario would probably be switching to a completely different application, but GOD, what a nightmare!

Oh man, changing scripts would suck! Fingers crossed it won't come to that. [And hopefully now that this has happened, Coppermine will get its shit together?]

Anyway, I'm gonna be around tonight after I get to my father's and probably tomorrow morning as well. Just send an email/comment/whatever if you need me for anything.

Would it EVER! I'm at well over 300 000 caps at this point. Can you imagine trying to get all that organized? AGAIN? I guess I probably wouldn't have to reupload the files, but still, oh man!

I just checked and my oldest directory, with the movie caps, hadn't gotten hit. I wonder if there's something different about that particular directory that I can apply to all the other ones. I think it warrants investigating at the very least!
