Bye.
   
If you want me, my wife is still here.

That is all.

Another DUmmie bites the dust.

I think it's silly, but the gay primitives can be silly at times.

This is, allegedly, why the sacchrine feline is leaving Skins's island (a different bonfire, not the one in the original post):

PSA: Watch your DU account. Might want to change your password.

My Web site server logs show:

Research (details of which are boring) show me this person was at the DU login page; IP address xxxxxxxxx resolves to RIPE Network Coordination Centre, Amsterdam -- legit in itself, but a hacker gateway from the former USSR.

Caveat DUer.

Don't mean to be an alarmist -- it's probably just Jennifer Roback Morse trying to mind**** me -- but you never know.

4. I'm *warning*.

Somebody's ****ing around -- nosing around -- and I'm trying to save everyone grief. Clear enough, or would you rather I sit back and laugh when some 14-year-old Russian hacker ****s with you?

5. Nope. Not clear enough.

If you explain what you mean and more importantly you give advice on what to do then you're warning can mean something. But you're free to laugh all you want in any case.

11. OK.

My Web site is http://www.lavenderliberal.com / . I monitor hits/traffic (people who come to my Web site) through my server logs (what keeps track of my traffic). The incoming link is extremely suspicious; while it shows "du admin.php," it comes from Europe, per the IP (Internet Protocol) address.

The page this person was trying to access was my DU login page.

My conclusion: Someone was trying to get into my DU account. I believe if someone was trying to get into my DU account, that same someone may be trying to get into your DU account.

He's in for a rude surprise.

Let's just say that I had some pros set up a little goody for people like that.

9. That's no warning.  

It's not a PSA if you just copy-and-paste a bunch of code. That doesn't tell most of us anything.

Someone's nosing around? So what? What can they do? How? What does it mean? What grief? Is my DU password a gateway to my entire system?

Believe it or not, a lot of people need to be told WHAT THE DATA MEANS. What if a hurricane warning just said "Watch out, barometric pressure is dropping fast in your area." Not quite the same as saying "THERE'S A ****ING HURRICANE COMING!!!"

So thanks for nothing.

18. That's the point - we're not all computer nerd techies who know what that shit means

Or the difference between 'code' and 'logs' for that matter.

So if it's really a PSA, that crap should be explained.

23. So you're upset because there's things in the world you don't know about.

I think it's called insecurity, and you are owe the OP an apology for acting like a complete ass when they were trying to help people out. It's not her fault that you don't know what you're talking about.

i get a lot of hits from RIPE - i made the mistake of having my email on my site and I assumed they got it because when I put it up and their bot got me again I got tons of spam.

21. Are you sure they didn't just click the link in your profile?

Why does any of that mean that they were on your login page?

az=general&saz=member_facts&command=view&id=175732 This part SEEMS to be saying "view member facts for member id 175732", which TO ME indicates someone looked at your profile and clicked the link you have in your profile to go to your website.

Not seeing the sinister part here.

24. Exactly. Total non-issue. Maybe OP should learn how to read logs before scaring people.

Someone from London likely a mod used a page that lets them look at a user.

That page likely has the user's profile info.

What does the OP have on his/her profile page?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

Oh yeah a FRACKING link to their website!

http://www.hostip.info/index.html

So a mod living in London used the mod version of "view this user's profile" saw an interesting homepage link and followed it.

Somehow the OP got "OH NOES!!!!! RUSSIAN HACKERS!!!!!!" out of that.

25. OK, I'll try a translation even though I'm pretty clueless

All she's saying is that someone tried to log into her DU account as an administrator.

Then that same person immediately went to her discussion group, Lavender Newswire.

If you run a site, you get a "log". When anyone visits your site, your log tells you what site that person was looking at immediately before looking at your site.

So some person from a suspect, east European hacker site went to DU, tried to log in as Sapphocrat using administrator privileges, presumably was unsuccessful, and then immediately went to Lavender Newswire.

29. The IP address you posted belongs to a DU moderator who followed a link to your site from a deleted message (a personal attack against you that had been removed.)

In future we would appreciate if you could check with us first before posting this kind of information publicly and suggesting to everyone that Russian hackers must be responsible.

Locking.

sappho is saying that someone is trying to hack her account?  Sounds like she is setting DU up for some fun and games. She can go off on a spamming mission or something and then blame hackers for doing what she did.  :fuelfire:

Okay, what are the odds that this primitive never actually leaves Skins's island, or if she leaves, comes back after a while?

Forgive my gross naivete, but I'm not sure how that might be possible.

Remember, we're talking two lesbians here.

I suppose it's possible using an artificial attachment, but that's as far as my imagination roams.

Situations like this come up frequently at the DUmp. We need information from benburch, but he's no longer there.
