Books Russian Big Pharma Mafia Strikes Again
posted by on March 10 at 11:00 AM
Maud Newton’s website was taken over this past weekend by a Russian pharmaceuticals company. Another website of Newton’s, Miamistories.com, was hijacked and had this ransom note pasted on it:
“Yes, I’m bitch. Fuck me with big penis!. You must give us site miamistories.com else we are delete your blog.”
I’d heard that the Internet was a lawless, wild-westy place, but I didn’t believe it until now.
I hope she back up her blog.
I find it amusing that this particular post is free of the usual Slog vitriol.
Yeah, hackers have been hijacking sites for years. Someone could hijack the Stranger site right now if they really wanted to.
I'm not a web developer so I don't know the remedy to re-commandeering your website, but I'm sure there is a solution.
I'm pretty sure that if you have physical access to your server hardware, you can fix this.
