Well it got us talking about it! Probably a disturbed child.
Dimitris had this problem a lot when he first set up arillas.com and it is one of the reasons he set up this forum. So at least you have to be registered to comment, you only get one chance to be offensive then you are blocked.

It must be a very disturbed person, they obviously need to get out more!!!!
Perhaps its that Doctor who tried last week with a pornographic bad e mail address trying again under a different name, there are some sad opl people in our world
Whoops sorry finger slipped supposed to say old never met a opl person yet!!
I have Lynette, ooh you dont know what youre missing haha :-D !!!
oh its good to laugh
Pete, says please do not go on to have a look even out of curiosity, as you don't know what else has been sent with it, and it could effect your own pc. Viv
Whoops Viv !!
I had a look,out of curiosity,before I read your message. Uummmm! What now I wonder?
( Looks to me like someone with an IQ ten times greater than me but with the Brain the size of a pea )
Not a very exciting "Hack" - Perhaps he's a trainee!

I did too and then thought afterwards that is probably what this person wants and keeps a log of how many "hits" he gets or something.
What a stooopid thing to do!
Hello everyone!!
sorry about that,!
I was away for some days and I forgot to "lock the door"
So the hackers found this out and added some rubbish on the one of the guestbook pages which I have deleted as soon as I read the threat on our forum,
THANKS for keeping an eye on it..
I was reading the papers yesterday on the ferry to Igoumenitsa - Corfu and there was on first page that hackers had attacked the Greek Army website and that was on a national day!!
So there is always worse.
I have deleted the guestbook component ("main program") for the moment and I Will add a better one when I have some more time,
These stories with hackers have really helped me to learn a lot about websites and security as I always like to see things in a positive way.
bu the way me and litsa went for a three or four ( don't;t remember it was soo nice ) day brake in a small village on the Greek mountains in ZAGORI, http://www.papigo.gr/ with out mobiles, cameras, music etc ONLY us and the nature!!
talk to you soon,
Dimitris
Well done Dimitris for sorting that out so quickly" We dont want any nasty old "bugs" attacking this site do we?
Glad you had a good time on your holiday. I always wondered where Greek people (especially those in Arillas) went for their holidays. It looked lovely and very interesting in the mountains. I couldnt quite understand where it was though. It said Ionian island, was that still Corfu or another one. Sorry I must be a bit dim! Sue
Just realised it might be on the mainland, is that right?
Hi Dimitris
I did get worried to by the so called Doctor with a very bad name e mail address but hopefully we have got rid of them!
I am so pleased you and Lisa managed a few days away from everything, you both thoroughly deserve it, the place looks lovely how far is it from Arilles?
Lynette
have just visited www.arillas.com to check my profile page and i found that it had been hacked i have sent a p.m. to dimitris so that he is aware of the problem why oh why do this idiot have to do this ?
just noticed of 56 guests online now 5 of those are looking at the hackers thread
I noticed there were loads of guests the other day. How do you know if you have been 'hacked'?
No Idea,but it just seemed strange to me that 5 guest? were looking at the hackers post
Maybe theyre just guests that read everything?? I know i do haha, nosey cant help it!! :-) !
I wouldn't know if I was ready the Hackers Thread or not, so apologies if one of the five was me!!!!!!!
Mango
sorry
that meant to say reading not ready. Doh!

In your actual post once you have posted it, if you spot a spelling mistake etc, look to the right of your post and you will see a small icon of a pen and paper, click on this and it opens up the post you just wrote and allows you to change any mistakes, then save it and its changed, marvellous!!
thanks for that Smiffy.
Mango
Youre most welcome :-)
I have used that quite a few times, but now and again it disappears and I cant change it then its gone down all the 'wires' and has been posted and I cant do anything about it..too late!
By the looks of things you are only allowed to modify you're posts in certain threads.
You have never been allowed to edit them in the General Chat thread as you don't have to 'login' to view the topics within.
Right Joe. Must try and remember and double check before I send it then. thanks
There are "hackers"and there are also posters of stupid messages (spammers). Both are a real pain for guestbook owners. On a couple of guestbooks which I look after I now have to approve all postings before they go "public" which means an unfortunate delay. The "spammers" apparently use special software which finds the guestbook and even adds a message automatically. It sounds as though Dimitri's guestbook was "spammed" well and truly.
The worst problem I get is hackers who get in and DELETE ALL the messages. I have to take care to keep a back-up and my notes on how to re-instate it.
Hackers search the net for guestbooks. The web logs show that they go straight to them without coming from any links so must have the direct address. Often I have traced the source to computers in China, Korea, Japan and the USA. What would they be doing looking at a Corfu guestbook?
What do they get out of it ? ... presumably some sort of twisted elation in wrecking something.
