Ain't Life a Bitch
by Vic on January 25, 2008
Well all of you by now should have figured out a fucking asshole who has nothing better to do exploited our server and since he could not hack the site he trashed the server. Now folks let me be totally clear it was my fault. When we where hacked last month I did not do a full audit of the system, lessons learned. Turns out a few exploited files where still in the server which they used to gain access again.
I want to thank all of you for the amazing support. We look forward to having Blogging Zoom fully operational by the end of the day and as you can see Blogger Unleashed is about 85% back up. I restored BU first because I was having problems restoring BZ data and wanted to make sure the server was not the problem.
Now for those that though this was funny let me just say life is a bitch and the world turns. Remember the laughter and make sure as we did you have full backups as we did not lose any data what so ever. Oh BTW FUCK YOU!!!!

Hey Vic,
Glad to see BU is back up, though I do see a performance issue on my end. But like you said, it is only at 85% right now.
Hopefully you have the site locked down now.
Sorry to see this happen to you!

DNS is stil propagating I would say you should see back to normal speed in about 24 more hours. Still fixing though LMAO
I keep thinking of the saying: "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger." Glad to see you're back online with BU.
You are so right. The important thing is to learn and move forward bigger and better
God, people are jackasses. Honestly, could the jealousy be more obvious?
Glad to see everything's getting back in order.
Lizzie good to see you girl. Yeah amazing but hey we will get up again.
Glad to see you're almost back…hopefully BZ is getting close.
If this will help cheer you up…Fuck You Too!
BZ is about 80% should be all fixed by tomorrow.
Tnx
Way to go vic!
Nice work staying strong 
Jasa
LMAO had to say it my way
Hey Vic,
Great to see you're back up and you didn't lose any info, as that would be real bummer!
Nick that would had really really suck. Thank the lord all it is just more work. Feel like I am building a puzzle LMAO
Folks I am sorry I took so long to answer comments again for the amazing support just pumps me up to help you folks more. The next few days I will be in an out as I still have much to do. But I have a few things I need to tell you folks to work on tomorrow I will take time to make one of my horrible post.
Nice job staying strong there Vic. It says it all in this post.
Oh, and I guess I should backup my files now just in case.
Sly please yes and hope all you great folks learn from my ass keep solid backups and thanks just need to get all the rest of the sites that where on this server up.
You da man Vic. Welcome back.
LMAO Thanks need some sleep though.
Man I can,t wait to see your next article and I hope you come visit my blog
Today I will be making one and count me visiting as soon as I get a few minutes.
I think it's hilarious that they did this, and you guys just put BZ back up looking hotter and cooler than ever, with new features right around the corner.
A nice F-U to these jerk-offs if I ever saw one
Mike Court and me talked about it we where not showing the new look till the first when the new logo was done but I felt we needed to make a statement I hope we did.
Vic,
I had a feeling you guys would unveil the new look when you restored the site. Looks Great!
Well we really wanted to do a full unveil with the new logo and all but hey what the heck now we have two cool days instead of one, the new design and the day you folks see the new logo.
I was worried yesterday that you might have shut the site off. I visit BZ everyday for the tips and helpful info you have for bloggers. Of course I submit some of my posts but that's just secondary. Great to know that you're back with a more sleek, and professional looking site. I like to visit BZ everyday because while most social networking sites look down on bloggers, BZ helps them and gives encouragement to bloggers. Thanks for being here.
No please thank you. Because of you all wonderful folks is why BZ has had the success it has. BZ will keep growing and we will keep adding features.
Hey,
Read your comment on Problogger towards me. I was kind of confused by it, because well, I didn't really intend to offend you. I don't think I listed you in the post as well. I am actually a subscriber to your blog as well. Also, my blog is not a make money blog. I am an English student, so I use that and my practices in class towards helping people write/write blogs. No I don't have a large subscriber number, no I don't make a lot of money (from that blog at least). But the blog has been online for less than a month.
I didn't lean towards swearing or not in the blog either. I don't use the big words because I have family members reading my blog, and I want to keep the blog a little more family friendly. That's all.
Anyways, I am glad your blog is back online, because I do read it, and quite frankly enjoy it a lot.
Cheers mate,
Justin
Justin if you read this blog you know I am a paranoid bitch LMAO. No worries mate just think pattern interrupt
I'm glad to hear that BU and BZ are okay and that nothing was lost in this incident. Some people really need to learn to get a life, dealing with this must've sucked pretty bad.
Tay nothing was lost thank god but now we just need to put all together again. Thanks so much for your support. Bless You
It's great to see ya back. Hoping to see better things coming.
Tnx Markk and I know you will like the new features. We are trying to make things easier for all you folks.
Awesome Vic, I'm happy for you and now that the new look is there, you have come back more powerful and sexier than ever.
Way to go.
Monika thank you so much we hope the new looked is liked and most important totally different then the competition.
Welcome back Vic I thought something happened again but looks like the DNS re-propagated? Cheers
YC I am a dumb fuck and when setting up the DNS server mmmm I put the wrong extensions so two different DNS propagated confusing the hell out of the routers. Thanks for the support so much.
Vic, it's great to see you back up and running. That's also good news for BZ, as I keep checking to see if it's back up yet. Some
assholespeople have too much time on their hands and think it's funny to trash other people's work.Lin the fact that you used the word "assholes" has just made my day LMAO. Coming from you it even gives the word class. The important thing is we make sure we try to lock down good and have constant backups because they will keep trying. Thank you so much for your support and your kindness.
I am psyched that BloggingZoom is back!
Fred not 100% but we are getting there
Vic, believe it or not , I was as frustrated with your trials as I was my own recently, I had a few more last night as a Wordpress update destroyed my site again, but we had a recent back up to get me back online, that why you see my article posted twice , I hate technology and hackers about the same, welcome back buddy
Don the only thing good about all this we just got more experience
Glad to see you running again. I was going through BZ withdral.
Did this have anything to do with my ISP not being able to see your sites 2 days before the hack? Somehow you were made invisible to anyone in Western Canada that used that satellite to get internet. Everything else was available, so it seemed pretty suspicious.
Tim might be since they messed with everything we are still having DNS issues but again we will get all fixed.
Bringing it back with a new look and extended features…that's hilarious. That's only going to help the site grow more. Some people are so stupid. Good work, guys.
Back Bigger and Better LMAO and wait till you see all the new features.
BZ is looking really sexy! Good to have you back…in full form too I must say…:D oh yeah…
Hey Vic,
I'm glad you back and I love the new BZ look! Been trying it out a few times and it's great – it really kicks ass!
That's the way to shove one big fat one right up their shitters, ha!!!
I got hacked like 2 weeks ago too… some fucking russian kiddie hackers.
Yeah, me too only this time I saved some of the bad links they inserted into some of my sites – did a whois of the url and turns out its owned by some fucked up bastard in Australia. Makes a change from the fucking eastern European and Chinese hackers I guess. I made the mistake of calling her out, cause I logged in this morning and got an email saying my Bidvertiser account been terminated. The bitch must have gone onto the site she hacked and made a load of clicks on my ads – now its fucking war!
