OA Images Down - Updated & Bumped
John Pannell has advised that both his main site, OA Images and his OA Images Blog are down. He had reported that he was experiencing some server issues, but that is not the only problem.
He has posted a static page with the following information :
Yes, this site is completely offline except for this temporary page. OAImages.com was hit by hackers. While they did no damage to the site or its data, they did compromise the server’s security. Specifically, these overgrown imps installed software called “John The Ripper” which is used to crack passwords on other servers.
While we restore the server’s operating system and the reload all the other various programs and files, this site will remain offline. We hope to be back again in a few days.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
If we have any further updates, we will pass them on.
Update from John:
2/20/2008 12:45pm: www.oaimages.com, as a domain, is up again. Nothing works yet, but at least you can see the domain again without going here. Further updates will be posted there or in the blog (once it’s back up).
