Cactus Website attacked

Well, we seem to be back "on the air" as it were.  Our site was attacked Friday.  Everything in our database was deleted.  We thought we got it back on Saturday but missed some nasty files and the databases were deleted again.  We may have some data loss here on the boards.  We restored a database backup from Saturday.  Our shopping cart was also down as was my abilitiy to upload files to the server.  Hopefully, we have it fixed.

I heard whoever did it left a note that said, "Make Moses a Priest or else!!!!!!!!!!"

That just what I heard.

*chuckles* Arphaxad and Abraham are Israelites?  I know it's just a game, but even Sunday School kids know that Israelites are descendants of Israel (Jacob)!

From Bryon's chuckle I believe we can rule out the Mossad or other Israeli intelligence operations.  That leaves these guys in addition to possibly STAMP and/or the MMEF (i.e., Militant Moses Empowerment Front).

Well that rules out MKChief.  The escalator would have left him at the scene of the crime.   ;)

I know who it was!! .... It was that mean ol' SASQUATCH!!! Just the other day, I heard him mentioning something about an imminent attack on the boards. This was after he ate 30 sac lunches from the elementary school kids who were on a field trip to the nature center.
