Hacker strike KTOG board

John D., Admins, and the forum members,

I was just peeking around at other boards around the net, and read the horrific story of the KTOG.org (Kel Tec - plastic guns) discussion board which was completely wiped out by a hacker.

It was replaced with this 'tag' http://flyerwires.com/hackedktog.html

I'm not a member of that forum, but from what I have read - it sounded like all was lost, and may not be recovered.

The admins over there are very angry and frustrated. I know it's a lot of thankless effort just to overcome the ghost in the machines.

I belive the hackers used some code to break-in to the site, and wiped it out.

I can't imagine loosing the vast reference materials stored here on this site. Hopefully forwarned is forarmed - but there are new vulnerabilities exposed every day.

Just wanted to pass this along to the group, and thank you for all of your hard work!

Regards,
Fritz.
