Animation Source news
Animation Source - Under attack!

Written by Grey wolf :



 

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the alarming and dramatic title, but I think all of the persons here has the right to know what's going on. Animation Source got entirely hacked, yesterday night.

The troll hacked a lot of moderator/administrator accounts to spam and to give permissions to his double-accounts and thus, made himself an easy way to take control and destroy the sites. I decided to demod every single staff member on the AS sites to avoid their powers to be misused. . 

Then the hacker striked back and started to delete a bunch of accounts - including some staff accounts. I had no other choice than to close every site down, for safety purpose. I've only let the Animation Source hub open, to allow the members to log in.

 

To conclude, I did everything that I could to protect AS. For the moment, everything is under control - we must all remain calm. Sadly, Steet is currently in vacation and will only get back in a few days. He dosen't even know that AS got hacked to such a high level. If we're lucky, we shall find a permanent and useful way to get rid of this troll. Until then, every site will remain temporary closed. I don't want to take any risk.

The webranking will surely be affected, but if this decision can prevent our sites from being destructed, I think it's worth the sacrifice.

 

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask by posting a comment.

You got your spell checker to work before you made that last post? Wow. Everyone please pause for a minute to laugh uncontrollably at the amount of lowercase i's, misspelled words and misplaced commas in that post. If you got it to work, pay attention to it.

Skulblaka_Shur'tugal; At the moment you're not a mod so you can quite frankly get the hell over it. A lot of people agree with me and we're welcome to talk about whatever we want. How dare you try to tell everyone what they can and cannot talk about. We're not stupid and we can talk about whatever you want. Stop being so arrogant.

I personally know who the hacker was, and it was NOT somebody who is a member on the site. I want for everyone to calm down and, once I get to be a mod on the hub again, I'll go through and delete some of these comments. If you want to have an argument--about TYPOS?--then take it elsewhere. If you want to make accusations at members, keep your thoughts to yourself. The point is, this emergency is basically over, so it will do NOBODY ANY good to keep talking about it.

Lucario did it... why can't you all see that? He said himself in the chatbox that he keeps in contact with Hitler and other past trolls. Plus, he crashed Animation Alter once... I bet he did the same thing here because he wasn't getting his way. Remember the tribunal? Lucario quit being a mod before people could vote him out (because it was going that way)... then he came back a few days later. And right before this attack, Lucario left the site... If this isn't proof that it's Lucario, I don't know what is! How can Lucario assure us the site wont be trolled again unless it was him doing the trolling? He left the site, then trolled it so he could come back and look like the hero. DUH PEOPLE.

And Skul, I'd suggest you stop offering up information, you're just prolonging the rage. Just stop and let people get over it.

Tibbeh,

Really? That's good, out here i only know about three kids who are good at spelling, then lots of medium spellers, then several bad spellers. I got my spell checker to work, awesome! i just had to download the google tool bar again, whadayaknow!

To RE: Steet.

You're right, the whole thing is rather amusing, but it's a bit of a bummer for the site creators. I've read quite a few of the comments on here, and many people are acting like this is the end of world. I know what you mean when you say it could be a moderator messing about XD That'd be interesting :L

To all those people who are over-reacting: I wouldn't worry coz like RE: Steet said, no personal details were stolen. May I add that there are much worse things going off in the world, so worrying about a site is not really worth it. Sure the whole thing's annoying, especially for Steet, I'm sure, but nobody died, so chill people :)

I'm not gonna whine and flame you, RE:Steet, because you made some very valid points :) RELAX PEOPLE!

"todays youth can't spell correctly to save thier lives"

I beg to differ. I know plenty of kids that can spell perfectly fine. It's not hard. And with all the spell checks there are out there now for the internet there is zero reason anyone should make as many spelling errors as people here do.

Actually, i typed the typo on purpose just to annoy you. Yeah, my toolbar doesn't work, i figured that out. I do agree with you about how dumb all this stuff about the hack is though. I bet the mods are laughing at us too, we're arguing about spelling, lol good times, good times.

Re: Steet
Re:

Let me enlighten you people;

1) There is no proof that anyone was hacked, it was most likely a mod or admin that was annoyed and abused their power (and I can see why).

2) If it was hacked, they did nothing illegal. No personal information appears to have been stolen (how would it have been?), everything was restored and no viruses were placed anywhere. Everyone should really just get over it and move on. Idle threats will probably just make the troll laugh and want to troll again.

3) Learn how to spell and write, nobody will take you seriously until you do. You should have learned this in first grade.

4) This site is not that important. Even Steet said it. Get over it and relax. Tibb, Lax and a few others have pointed out how ridiculous you all look and you should listen to them because they seem like the most intelligent people here. Even Maverick is sitting back and laughing at this whole situation. It's not a big deal, it's actually pretty funny and it's all fixed now so stop whining.

I'm sure people will freak out now because they think that this site is the most important thing in the world, and then they'll probably tell the troll who hasn't been here in days because he/she is busy having a life that THEY need to get a life which is hypocritical and ridiculous. A lot of you look like complete idiots right now. I don't condone what the troll did, it's a real shame and they shouldn't have done that but it's NOT a big deal and you're all taking it way too seriously.

Let the whiny flaming begin...

I would like to reiterate that I am NOT the troll, and that the hacker got into my account through a password glitch. At any rate, I am still open to talk about what happened, so if anybody wants more info, just PM me.

°x° you know, I think spelling is too important to you. My goodness, people make typoes! If you havn't noticed, todays youth can't spell correctly to save thier lives, and the care too much about the internet. so here's some lyrics from a song that you need to listen too "Save your strength for things that you can change, forget the ones you can't, you gotta let it go,"

I checked my google toolbar spell checker and i turned it off and on again, maybe now it'll work.

"destry"

Okay seriously, I'm actually starting to get why they trolled this place. Is everyone here stupid? You all act like 5 year olds and complain about everything. No wonder it was trolled. I was a member about 5-6 years ago and it was never this bad. This is flat out embarrassing.

I can't believe someone hacked the site! What idiot would try to destry a site as wonderful as this one. I hope we think of something to stop the hacker.

No that wasn't sarcasm AT ALL. I'm NEVER sarcastic.

I do have a suggestion though, since every single browser except Internet Explorer has a built in (free) spell checker now, why not use one of those? OR download a toolbar for Internet Explorer that has a built in spell checker (free), or if you're making a long post like that take the 2 seconds to post it into Word Perfect and not embarrass yourself.

You're welcome. And I'm sorry to hear that you have an out of date computer. I know that Microsoft has only offered Spell Check software for free since about 1995 and I often forget that most people haven't made the leap to Windows 95 yet.

Sorry for having an out of date computer, but i don't get the red line when i'm typing a post on this site, and sorry for misspelling. I'm not an adult yet, i'm still learning. Even adults are still learning, so don't try changing the subject off of your mistake. I'm good with math, not spelling, so excuse me. and after looking in the dictionary sitting next to me, it's spelled catastrophe i believe. but thanks for pointing that out, now i know how to spell it. :)

Shade1515, the only "catastrufy" was that post. When your browser trolls with you a big red line under what you write it means "HEY THAT'S NOT A WORD FIX IT". I mean it's a BIG RED LINE. Pay attention to it. It's easier than ever to spell things correctly now. I refuse to take anything you have to say seriously if you think that "catastrufy" is a word. I have no idea who trolled this site and it's awful what they did, but I almost understand why they got annoyed with this place. Everyone stop acting like you're five and learn proper spelling and sentence structure please. This is embarrassing.

I'm just as shocked as everyone else is, but guess what? These things can happen on the Internet. SHOCK~! Still, we should be glad to have people that were able to save and work hard on restoring accounts and other things because clearly most of us cannot.

To Grey wolf, steet and whoever else assisted in saving the sites to the best of their abilities: Thank you very much for all your hard work. Where would we be without you guys here?

To that troll hacker person, whoever they are: Maybe they will come back, maybe they won't - who cares? No website is truly safe, but we will only improve and end up stronger because of this attack. Don't underestimate us. And I know that you're not Skulblaka; anyone who thinks that is truly some sort of a moron.

To the crazed fans that were freaking out: Oh my gosh... just freaking chill, okay? It's just a website. I did other things during the day and if you're so dependent on the AS sites, maybe you should find a hobby outside of the Internet? It helps.

I think that's all that needs to be said. This is just one of those obstacles that we all face when we use the Internet. It'll suck sometimes, just like this attack, but thanks to smart people on this site, things will get better for AS and all of the sites - you'll see. Again, CHILL. I have, so you can too.

Braveheart, you confuse me. I have nothing against you, i just really didn't like how you compared this too 9/11, it is NOT good, but your last post was very mature, so i congratulate you on that. but also, where did the suicide subject come up? really? it's constructive critisism, to help you not make mistakes twice. it happens to everyone.

and whoever Re: Steet is, you should also be ashamed of that one comment. No one died, no buildings fell because of a terrorist attack, this was just some persons entertainment for the weekend. It isn't a good thing, but this isn't a catastrufy.

Steet is managing this maturaly, more maturly then most everyone here, even me.

LOL what are you talking about? Nobody said you should end your life. We just can't believe that you're a 21 year old adult. Did you graduate High School? Are you actually in College? I highly doubt it because you're incapable of understanding people (nobody said or even suggested that you should end your life where the hell did you get that idiocy from). Also, how are your grades in English class? You should spend less time bawwwwwing about a web site and taking it so seriously and more time learning how to read and write because nothing you say makes any sense whatsoever.

Nobody dislikes you and nobody thinks you should "end your life" we just think you need to re-think your priorities and pay attention in English class. lol

thews is not a word, you're using the wrong "threw" it's "through", "threw is like you THREW a fit because you're butthurt and your most favoritest web site EVER1!!!1111 got trolled. Nobody thinks you should kill yourself and nobody said or insinuated that. Stop being a little Drama LLama.

Well then. I don't know what to say now. Should I say who's right or who's wrong? No. Should I start arguing to the ones who hurt me and disagree with me? No. Or should I just end my life right now? No. I'm not going to do any of those things on this site or to my life. I'm a caring person, who really cares about this site. Who cares about others, their lives and what their going threw right now. I'm not a person who just hurts others, or make fun of them, or even tell them that their idiots, or even yell at them for putting stupid words on a comment. Sure I might be stupid, an idiot or a shame of my self. But at lease I care about what's going on here on this site. This site is like a family to me; you may not see it; but I do. I have friends on here that loves me. I also have people on here that hates me. But I don't hate them; anymore. I'm tired of people hating me for who I am and what I do. I just let them hate me. Cause if I argue with them; things come to bad to worse. So I don't. I just let it go. It makes me sad some times, but that's what my life is right now. I maybe a 21 year old teen adult, who feels sorry for haters, who still has a kid's soul inside of myself and who really cares about others and their lives and wants to help them. But at lease I have a heart of gold; and a soul of faith, caring, peace and love. You may disagree with me; you may say I have no life and I should grow up; or say I'm crazy, and other hateful words to me. But i'm not going to say any thing to thews words or sayings. Cause I know I'm not any of thews. So why should I be mad and end my life, just because some hate me and disagree with me? I have a happy life and ones who love me. So no; I'm not going to anything bad on here or to myself. Cause I have hope, courage and wisdom inside me; but mostly hope. That's what who I am; and what a golden life I have. You may not think that; but one day, you will open your mind and heart, and you will see. Trust me.

Skulblaka_Shur'tugal is definitely the troll. There's overwhelming evidence for it. He even admitted that he was upset that nobody liked his web site designs and that's why he was trolling. He also trolled under his account well before any other accounts were hacked.
