Hackgate '08 So, what appears to be Russian hackers have been taking down journals and communities over on LJ -- posting a link to a Russian site with commenting turned off, and then going back through the journal or community and deleting everything, changing the journal passwords and e-mail addresses, and gods know what else. Copperbadge (
sams_cafe over here) was just hit really bad, and I know I saw the wga_supporters community go down last week, along with it's maintainer's journal.
Does anyone know exactly how many journals were hit, or what LJ has been doing about it (if anything)? I haven't seen any news anywhere, other than on the journals of the individuals involved. (And now I'm curious, now that I've... you know, backed up my journal and made sure my current e-mail address was validated...)
