Real Verdict

Hacked ?! (April 2003)

I've just visited Real Verdict and there is a message on it about it being hacked by anti war protestors.

What did they do?

And when will Real Verdict be back?

*a load of old tripe me thinks

I can believe the hacking part as it can happen, but by anti-war protestors. I mean what possible reason would they have for hacking a site which really wasn't even reporting on the war.

A poor marketing ploy probably.

There was another website which i followed a link through TV Forum to, which had a simular notice about being hacked by Anti War Protesters.

Real Verdict was hacked last Thursday, as were other sites on the same server. It wasn't individually targetted. In fact, http://www.thebbportal.co.uk is still displaying the page which the hackers also left on RV.

It'll be back as soon as possible.

I'm afraid there will be some differences, as there's no way I'm risking using the current software again. The hacking completely messed up the server!
