Education never hurts.

How educated are you? You never advertised that.

Just short of a PhD.

Tried to make a new post a moment ago. Got an error:

Unknown column 'post_private' in 'field list'

Thanks for telling me!

OK, fixed. You should be able to write a new post now.

17   just_passing_through   2017 Sep 22, 9:20pm  

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

[edit: it worked!]

Dan

Speaking of--has anyone had a comment from him? Doesn't he live in Florida?

19   lostand confused   2017 Sep 22, 9:51pm  

Wow-are we important enough to be hacked?

20   Patrick   2017 Sep 22, 9:55pm  

Seems to have pissed off someone with enough knowledge to cause trouble.

I hope it was the Saudis who hacked us because of all the mean things I say about them. On second thoughts, I don't think it was them. They don't have the brains to do something like that. Must be their goats.

22   Bellingham Bill   2017 Sep 22, 10:45pm  

oh no they removed all my ignores!

24   Ceffer   2017 Sep 22, 11:18pm  

Yup, my one banner is gone. However, I still have my deluded follower.

Does a Realtor live near you?

Like a Realtor has the skills to hack a website!

jazz_music says

he's snarky, disingenuous, self-glorifying and droll.

Thought that was a general description of all Patnetters!
....

Those that are so engrossed with technology will do nothing to stop hackers so could you please STFU.

So is this Strategist's homepage now?

Was the reason the site came down to defeat banning the fucking trolls?

If you are such a delicate snowflake that you can't stand to read different opinions, kindly butt out and leave this site to those with a little more intestinal fortitude! The sheer arrogance of your position is obvious to everyone but you.

Patrick.net hacked!


@Patrick, is there any information on what the hacker(s) did besides briefly knocking the site offline? I'm wondering if the hack might presage a doxing campaign and/or adding people to an ISIL/Daesh kill list, in support of the "Muslim world plan against blasphemous content" that our government enables Pakistan to lead.
30   Booger   2017 Sep 23, 7:04pm  

Pictures still not working.

31   Patrick   2017 Sep 23, 7:19pm  

Yes, will get pictures back soon.

32   Patrick   2017 Sep 23, 7:22pm

I think they just found some data that was indigestible to my site by trying lots of things.

There was a flurry of hits from lots of different places, and some attempts to inject sql right before it went down. I can see that much from the nginx logs.

Unfortunately, the way I brought the site back was to restore the database from the previous night. I should have kept a copy of the bad data for analysis, but did not.

33   Ceffer   2017 Sep 23, 7:23pm  

Can't upload images any more from my end.

And there are people like Jazz and Dan, who keep putting me on ignore, because they hate facts.


Facts?

Was that why it was down yesterday?
36   Patrick   2017 Sep 23, 10:07pm  

Yes, I don't know exactly how they did it, but fixed a few possible holes and have better monitoring in place now.
37   WatermelonUniversity   2017 Sep 24, 6:27pm  

patnet needs a security consultant. and i mean a REAL one, not curious2.

@Patrick, how old are your backups? How much is lost? New or old stuff?
40   anonymous   2017 Sep 27, 12:11pm  

It was the russians, we were getting close to the truth so they attacked with lucifer 6.66

There's a backup of the database every night at 3am. So posts and comments from 3am to 6pm on Sept 22nd were lost.

I should really have some more granular system for backing up. Maybe mysql replication.
42   just_passing_through   2017 Oct 5, 8:31pm  

So today I decided to google my email address. Until recently all one would find are some posts in a frog forum.

Well today shows my email address linked up with my pat net profile on some site that seems to mirror patnet:

https://whatdidyoubid.com/
I wonder if this is somehow related to the recent hack event?
43   just_passing_through   2017 Oct 5, 8:34pm  



This is a screen shot from google - I've erased my email address.
44   Patrick   2017 Oct 5, 8:34pm  

Woah, send me a screenshot: p@patrick.net

whatdidyoubid.com was a previous site of mine, run from the same server.
45   just_passing_through   2017 Oct 5, 8:37pm  

Interesting. Somehow google crawled it and picked off my email addy?
46   WookieMan   2017 Oct 5, 8:38pm  

Saw just_passing-though's post. My email account is a burner and nothing linked to it. Did a search and here's a screenshot of the search result.

I should have done the same. However, if Pat is able to take it down I suspect it'll eventually become un-indexed or something. Whatever happens in the long run with stale links.

Assuming Pat can take it down. O_o
48   just_passing_through   2017 Oct 5, 8:55pm  

Just some googling around and I found other ways people's email addresses are exposed. Notice the URLs are different:

49   just_passing_through   2017 Oct 5, 9:13pm  

Wow, if I search my email address on duckduckgo.com it takes me directly to my patnet profile:

/user/just_passing_through
Not sure why. My email address isn't in the page or page source. Perhaps in some metadata?
50   WookieMan   2017 Oct 5, 9:17pm  

I didn't get the same result with duckdckgo.com that you did. Google linked me back with my email to whatdidyoubid.com site.
51   WookieMan   2017 Oct 5, 9:18pm  

I'm also no longer getting any hits on my email with google either.
52   NoYes   2017 Oct 5, 9:20pm  

Must be left wing globalist damocrats evils at work
53   just_passing_through   2017 Oct 5, 9:21pm  

Status is still the same on my end. I'll just sit tight for now.
