Threat against Amiga sites?
« on: December 20, 2010, 11:28:24 PM »
It's probably nothing but we have been made aware of a recent threat against all Amiga sites including Amiga.org

We will keep Amiga.org safe and look out for any type of attack. Not sure why someone would bother computer hobby sites but whatever.

Is this some new definition of the word "threat" that I wasn't previously aware of ? (Sorry Douglas Adams!)

Threat i.e Threat an Act of....in that case, I eat chocolate. Problem solved. Happiness is restored ! A threat while eating chocolate isn't a threat at all, unless its a threat to denial of chocolate service. And that would be an act of war !.

Of course it could be one of a number of odd jobs that hang out there, but BoingBoss rings a bell as one of Doomy's sock puppets.

Amigans.net was recently hacked so these type of threats need to be taken seriously.
