[meteorite-list] NOT AN AD: Being Hacked Sale!!!

[bill kies]

40 websites and you still feel the need to bother with our humble list? This form of advertising is little more than panhandling. I need money to go meteorite hunting, tiny tim needs an operation... Thanks a lot cottingham. Give me one good reason why we should give a rats ass about your problem and I'm not talking about bandwidth. 
 
THIS IS NOT CRITICISM.

> Hi everyone,
> 
> I am dealing with a hacker on my server (ALL 40 of my websites are up 
> and down and email is spotty) as I am writing this email! I am currently 
> being hacked and this sale is only because of this because it will cost 
> me $1 per GB of bandwidth overage usage fees as soon as it reaches my 
> bandwidth limit. Every minute that goes by is costing me money!!!!
> 
> I've spent the last 4 to 5 days trying to stay one step ahead of this 
> hacker, and he keeps leeching the bandwidth off my server. I've done 
> everything I know how to do and spent hours on the phone with my server 
> vendor, but they are of no help as it seems the extent of this hack 
> extends into the legal realm.
> 
> In other words the hacker is breaking the law by essentially causing a 
> DoS (denial of service) by using up all my server memory and bandwidth 
> and can be prosecuted if we are able to determine where this hack is 
> coming from!
> 
> The money generated from this sale is going to bandwidth overage fees, 
> upgrading of services through my vendor, and to hire a network systems 
> administrator, and attorney. I will be seeking legal action and 
> prosecuting to the full extent of the law possible!
> 
> If anyone out there has is a system administrator or can refer me to one 
> that might be able to help I would greatly appreciate it. This must stop 
> now. The bandwidth being used is in the hundreds of Gigabytes per day! 
> Multiply that by $1 per GB and this can get very expensive VERY FAST!
> 
> Again, if anyone out there in meteorite land is a sys admin or knows 
> someone who might be able to help I would be forever grateful. I'm a 
> webmaster and web design artist/photographer. I can run servers, install 
> server related software, and run 40 websites at a time, but I'm not 
> hacker, and this is beyond my knowledge level.
> 
> Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide. You can reach me at 
> 904-236-5394 and I'd be glad to speak with anyone who might be able to help.
> 
> THANKS!
