40 websites and you still feel the need to bother with our humble list? This form of advertising is little more than panhandling. I need money to go meteorite hunting, tiny tim needs an operation... Thanks a lot cottingham. Give me one good reason why we should give a rats ass about your problem and I'm not talking about bandwidth.
 
THIS IS NOT CRITICISM.

> Hi everyone,
>
> I am dealing with a hacker on my server (ALL 40 of my websites are up
> and down and email is spotty) as I am writing this email! I am currently
> being hacked and this sale is only because of this because it will cost
> me $1 per GB of bandwidth overage usage fees as soon as it reaches my
> bandwidth limit. Every minute that goes by is costing me money!!!!
>
> I've spent the last 4 to 5 days trying to stay one step ahead of this
> hacker, and he keeps leeching the bandwidth off my server. I've done
> everything I know how to do and spent hours on the phone with my server
> vendor, but they are of no help as it seems the extent of this hack
> extends into the legal realm.
>
> In other words the hacker is breaking the law by essentially causing a
> DoS (denial of service) by using up all my server memory and bandwidth
> and can be prosecuted if we are able to determine where this hack is
> coming from!
>
> The money generated from this sale is going to bandwidth overage fees,
> upgrading of services through my vendor, and to hire a network systems
> administrator, and attorney. I will be seeking legal action and
> prosecuting to the full extent of the law possible!
>
> If anyone out there has is a system administrator or can refer me to one
> that might be able to help I would greatly appreciate it. This must stop
> now. The bandwidth being used is in the hundreds of Gigabytes per day!
> Multiply that by $1 per GB and this can get very expensive VERY FAST!
>
> Again, if anyone out there in meteorite land is a sys admin or knows
> someone who might be able to help I would be forever grateful. I'm a
> webmaster and web design artist/photographer. I can run servers, install
> server related software, and run 40 websites at a time, but I'm not
> hacker, and this is beyond my knowledge level.
>
> Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide. You can reach me at
> 904-236-5394 and I'd be glad to speak with anyone who might be able to help.
>
> THANKS!
