You are welcome to try it but all you will get is some Iranian dude complaining about the service he got at Wal-Mart. Or maybe, it's the new ObamaCare site...

I thought 9/11 had finally flipped his lid!

I just went there to check things out...weird! Glad the wizard is doing his magic.

Bad news is that the LC.com site is not up yet - but it's coming.
Good news is that the Forum is up and running at: http://www.lakecumberland.com/forum

THANK YOU to E_HILLMAN for allowing me to post this here. Rest assured that the same courtesy will be extended to you if your site ever has a similar experience. Muchas Gracias, Amigo

ADDED: As of 11:40 pm EST the site up and running again.

You know you are always welcome to.

Looks like you can thank this guy..
Don't know what they gained for their supposed peaceful cause by hacking a peaceful site.

My guess is this...both lc and this forums source codes are visible...they took it and modfied it..

All sites source codes are readily available and visible, it has to be for the browsers to work BUT the security for IDs etc. should be able to keep most from modifying. However NO system is hack proof. Bluehost seems to do a pretty good job at security. However their hardware techs could use a couple classes on uptime.

Here are a could screenshots sent to me of the hack on Lakecumberland.com yesterday.

If you have a LakeCumberland.com account and it has the same ID and password as accounts you have elsewhere I STRONGLY suggest you CHANGE your password IMMEDIATELY at all sites it is used.

My username is very unique at LC.com and my password was assigned to me by a mod because mine stopped working when I was banned for the umpteenth time. I feel somewhat safe they can't crack the code with the info they gained on me from that site......

Speaking of hacked, I have to sign in every time I come to this site now......and my password was assigned to me on this site by a moderator because of issues in the past.

I think this just means you have issues. Sorry, we can't help ya. lol


Wish I would have never posted the lil tip for people to reset their passwords if they use them elsewhere. GEEEEZZZ that went off in another direction and I only intended that info to be here... What a fluster cluck. Did not mean to stir up anything, just wanted to make sure all stayed safe. Its better safe than sorry.

•However, other sites, such as an e-mail greeting-card site, an online forum you frequent or an e-commerce site you've shopped at, might not be as well-prepared. So those are the ones I'd work on.
•So, all we have to do now is unleash a password cracker such as THC Hydra on their server with instructions to try, say, 10,000 different user names and passwords (or 100,000 -- whatever makes you happy) as fast as possible.

Test your password (don't use your actual password just in case just do something like of you use a A use a C etc. when you type it if you use a 1 use a 8 etc. etc. but you will get the general idea on how easy it is to break. If you use a common word use another simial common word.
