VPC site is hacked

If the saying is true that "truth hurts", then VPC must feel like they just got shot in the chest by a Desert Eagle .50 AE.

No it is not fixed, and I am getting mail right and left as a result. Don't know who DOmain HIjax is but they sure are generating some serious web traffic for me. I just pray that they don't come looking for me thinking I was somehow involved, that will be all I need.............

...“ They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” --Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.

Whereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them; nor does it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it.
---Richard Henry Lee, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788

El Jefe,

This whole darn thing could have been orchestrated by the anti's from the beginning to force you to close your site down. I wouldn't doubt it for a minute. This thing is starting to smell a little fishy. It would be way cool if the FBI could trace the hacker to being someone on the HCI payroll.

Please, keep us updated with what is going on.

Joe

Found this on anothe site, http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/06/19/gun.control.website/index.html Notice That Handguncontrol.net didn't even get an honorable mention, and nobody called to give a spokesman from my site a chance to say that we had nothing to do with it, Just Rosie and the NRA, why oh why do I bother????Sniff Sniff...........

Well, El Jefe, since cnn posted it most folks will take a look at the hack and see your site anyway. Could it be the propagandistat cnn don't like what you have to say ? Good job on your site BTW. IMHO I think this hacker did far more for us then against us, no doubt it was a good way to get some anti's to see our side of the fence anyway.
 
Well, I think he could have done better; Cited some of VPC's lies, instead of just SAYING they lie, for instance. Better yet would have been to copy VPC's site completely, with some *slight* changes. Who knows HOW long the hack might have gone undiscovered, if he'd done THAT! What he DID do wasn't much better than graffiti. But I don't have a clue how you do something like this; Maybe he had a size limit on his substitute page, or something.

Fox News is reporting that whoever seized the domain name has also been receiving all of VPCs mail. He emailed a reply to a VPC member and the Feds have traced the IP address on it back to the University of Nebraska.
www.packing.org has a few stories on the subject.
