That's the word on Twitter.

I would like to state for the record it was not me. This idea had not yet crossed my mind. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Kenneth Hoskins owns the site, so I'll just go with what he says.

Now, he could be moving it because of a hack. But that is at least the reason why the site is still down.

On the bitcoin thread Lonnie and I were discussing the hacking of ct by foreign nationals. I had posted on it when this weird stuff started appearing. Now CT had been having issues a couple of days prior then it came up and within an hour India or Pakistan hacked it. I was also told it was being moved but I personally saw the hacking.

Looks like they've been hit again. This time by Indonesian hackers.


This is Lonnie's post about it just minutes after it happened.

I got a screenshot, but no way to post it.

It was hacked by a group calling itself "Destroy Squad"

Honest to God, why? I swear there must be so little to do in the world to go through the effort to hack a free site that is populated by a bunch of Gamecock nerds.

I would not put it past tators being behind it. Also Cockytalk had become the Premier free Gamecock site and there is immature jealousy because of that.

It could just be a bot too.
And CT happened to be on a server of something else they were hacking.

It's a very weird business but hackers make a ton of money nowdays.

Saw some video the other day on youtube where and ex hacker was showing how just from getting peoples email addresses he was able to trace it back to social security numbers and credit card numbers.

If you saw it, you'd know it was out of SE Asia. My best guess based on the info they posted was Indonesia.

I'm not going to search this on google at work, but you could probably bring up some info if you did.

all they need is a little bit and somehow can find your SSN.
And just use that to make a credit card.

Isn't that giving them too much credit?

Don't we say they are all inbred morons that just enjoy humping sisters and banging sheeps?

I guess my question is why hack Cockytalk. We don't have our ss# or cc# info on there. It's not like its some powerhouse web site so why waste your time on a site that 99.9999% of the world, outside of America, has never heard of?

Yea I backtracked.
Not a fanbase.

Just a hacking and I don't think CT was singled out. Just happened to be on something and was hit with it.
Other sites probably down as well that ran off the same server.

This is the new age Nigerian prince scam

As I said I don't think they singled out Cockytalk.
Probably saw the server/host was unsecured and went at it.

No they don't but what do you use to sing up there? an email address.
They can find ways to get things just with that.
