FS Captain Website Hacked

[Kuragiman 227]

...  I think hacking... should be a capital offense in my opinion.

 

I just went to FS Captain's homepage+++++++++++++++and it's been hacked by idiots who have nothing better to do on a Friday night.   Hopefully they come back online quickly.

If you suspect a site is hacked, please do not link to it, as malware it may contain at the moment can be passed on to anyone that links to it..

And I would like $1 for every person who would, without thinking.

Concur; however, the link by itself is benign, I was responding to the suggestion that everyone is in danger by its mere presence. We're not ALL in danger; just like most of us are not going to click on the emails from the Nigerian princes that needs our assistance/money. Should he have posted the link...No. yet, it's not the cyber surety catastrophy some are making it out to be...

Yes, but think - in today's litigious society - some user who doesn't know better clicks on the link and gets his system trashed or worse. Guess who gets sued for not protecting the user?

 

The mere fact that a dangerous link is available is dangerous in and of itself - the danger being that SOMEONE MAY click on it.

Fair enough, Vic!
