Looks like Conservativeunderground has been hacked with a ransom demand.
Did you guys know.

Hi guys!

That is correct. Some prick is demanding I send him
0.1 Bitcoin (about 2,300) by the 22nd or he will cripple
the site totally.

Not going to happen. I'll be bringing the site down before
then and work on a rebuild and upgrade to make sure
it doesn't happen again.

Some people are real assholes. And I'd bet you a dollar
it's a Libtard.

Thanks, SR.  Dollars to doughnuts it's some shitbird friend of Queso Peligroso (My nickname for the little f***'s current screen name), aka CW.

Yeah.  I made the decision to stop going to cu last Saturday because those 2 made it very unpleasant.   I believe in giving someone with a differing point of view a chance to express their viewpoint, but those 2 are arrogant assholes

Sorry to hear about the attack on the site

But is anyone sure one of those is, or was, Clod Warrior?

Remember, Clod Warrior's pushing 71 years of age, which is somewhat too old, really, to play teenager games. 

Also, remember, Clod Warrior's had a rather impressive professional career, and those with that sort of accomplishments don't have the time or inclination, really, to play teenager games.

So if one of them in fact is Clod Warrior, well, Clod Warrior needs to hide himself in shame and embarrassment for not acting his age, or not acting his ostensible level of maturity.

Clod Warrior's "accomplishments" are just part of the fiction that makes up his life. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he's among those who hacked CU.

The timing seemed odd for a hack, but it is what is I guess...

The twin-trolls were especially windy, which might've been a clue.  Time on their hands... etc.

My point exactly.

Since he's so hoary (sorry about the bad pun), and has ostensibly done so much in his career, if he's one of those who hacked, he ought to be ashamed of himself, for not acting his age or level of maturity.

That is so annoying. Don't pay that turd a cent.
I indeed wouldn't be surprised if it was one of those two pseudo- intellectual trolls angry that we aren't rising to their bait more.
Is there any way to alert the authorities to this? Hacking without consent IS a crime, after all, as is extortion.

Absolutely.  There was a warning, and as SR mentioned above, he was going to make every attempt to resurrect the site with the Vbulletin platform.  Not my area of expertise.

At the very least, I captured everyone's post count in a fit of panic when I first heard the news.

Keep you all informed. :cheersmate:

Sorry about the bogus emails, my ISP told me they had shut those
off but I guess not. In any case the server is now Off so you won't
get any more. We'll be doing a full purge and reinstall at some
point.

I'm working with both my ISP and vBulletin to get this solved. I want to
know how this prick bypassed all the security. We'll find out
eventually.

As to who is responsible, I don't believe it's CW. Even though he is annoying
we have had a civil talking relationship on CU and he has backed off when
I've asked him to. I believe this is someone else.

Btw, in the hacker's message he put up on the site, he said something to the extent of "I dedicate this to my teacher who told me I wouldn't do sh@t with my life."
So, even in the hacker's imagined "victory," he brings up what a pathetic, thin- skinned loser he really is!
Also, he's proving the teacher was right: hacking websites and trying to extort money from their administrators aren't exactly signs of making something of yourself.

Did the same.

Strange that the DUmp got hacked during the election in 2016 and then CU did in 2020 post-election.

The only reason I mentioned the email was in case SR wasn’t aware they were going out.

The Bitcoin stuff ... too bad you can’t track that stuff.

Good luck SR. It sucks to have that happen but I’m sure y’all will get it sorted.
