Chronwatch has removed the nasty messages from the punks who hacked the site a couple of days ago. One of the messages contained a trojan to infect the computers of those who read it. However, all of that has been removed and the site is safe.
Unfortunately, it is also safe from articles and content. Only the forum and the writers' blogs are operating. Those parts of the site that normally contain contributed articles have been turned off, since they were the parts vulnerable to hacker intrusion.
Hacking is a federal crime. It is a felony, and can get the perpetrators a stay in the Gray Bar Hotel. It causes a lot of damage. Chronwatch reports the loss of advertising revenue and advertisers as a result of being hacked, and the number of visitors has dropped precipitously.
Yesterday I ordered three books on hacking from Amazon.com. I intend to become knowledgeable of the subject. My living room wall will look great with the mounted heads of several hackers. Does anyone know a good taxidermist?
By the way, I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to Pam Geller of Atlas Shrugs for posting information about this crime on her blog (See "The New Brownshirts") and making many more people aware of it. The folks at Chronwatch have expressed gratitude to the conservative blogosphere for its moral support.
