This is SO weird. I have a Geocities site. I’ve had it for a few years. I haven’t updated it recently, though. I just looked at it, and on Internet Explorer (on the Mac, anyway) a bunch of **porn** pages pop up! You know, the kind that pop up and won’t go away, no matter how hard you try to click them all away. WHAT IS THIS!?!?!? I did NOT do that. When I look on IE with my PC on my site, a weird script wants to pop up, and then a javascript error. Nothing happens in Netscape, though, on either Mac or PC. Was there some sort of hacking problem with Geocities that I didn’t hear about? What the hell is this? I leave my Geocities site alone for a while, and I come back to find THIS?!? What have my web page guests thought when they come to my site and are subjected to porn? (No cracks please - my site is a nice little modest effort with pictures of Yosemite, etc.) I went in and edited out some weird script on the offending web page. It took away the Geocities banner, but it also took away the pop-up thing that _should NOT_ be there. Does anyone know how this could have happened? ---

I don’t think this has ever been more deserving than now… Link Please. ---

I’ve heard of this (if it’s the same thing). It’s online graffiti, just defacing someome’s web pages. I haven’t really looked into it but apparently it is on the increase and there are various ways people can hack into your site. The article I’m just reading says this site: [http://www.attrition.org](http://www.attrition.org) should have more info - or at least details of other sites that have been recently defaced. [http://www.hackernews.com](http://www.hackernews.com) - also has an archive of hacked sites plus security info. Not nice, sorry it happened to you. ---

possible) OOppppss! \*\*Eutychus55 and UncleBeer \*\* - I just looked more closely at the second link above and noticed the word “cracks” at the bottom of the page. Hmmm, no idea on STMB policy but you might want to make sure there are no infringements. Very sorry, I had no idea (but I should have checked). Apologies. ---

There’s scope there for another footie crack. How much further can we take this without an Irish craic ? ---

“The buzz you’ll be gettin’ from the crack won’t last, I’d rather be OD’ing on the crack of her ass” OK. I had to call in Aerosmith to help me out. Bring on the craic. ---
