| Yes, the host the VHTrading.com site resides on was hacked again early this morning. My host assures me that security is being "hardened" and that they are working on isolating the problem. What I know is that the hacker break-in had nothing to do with any vulnerability on the VH Trade Site or Forums. All website files were wiped off the server but I've restored very recent backup files (again, thank God for backup!). I apologize for any inconvenience this down time may have caused. |

Thanks Scott. I got the 404 page this morning.
The golden rule of computer use is to back up everything. |

| When they are hacking are they trying to get into the site and do things or just trying to prove they can access sites through this particular host? A lot of times hackers do it just to prove they can....other times we get those @%#%^$&#'s that want to destroy a good thing. |
