I don't condone hacking but if whoever is doing it why not hack something useful like CommodoreAmiga.org?   (


What a hateful statement to make.  Guess haters have to hate.

Seems like every week I'm reading in the news about somebody who posts something to Facebook et al that they later regret and then blame "a hacker".

Judging by the friendly nature of hackers post at Morphzone it appears as if the hacker is somehow related to Trevor. A friend, an ex-friend, familymember or fellow member of some Amiga-site. That or we have the friendliest hacker ever :)

I totally agree with Karlos, this attack on Trevor was anything but "friendly".

It is a real shame that Trevor has had to put up with so much abuse when he is really trying hard to improve this tiny community knowing full well that he will never recoup the investment he has made, just trying to bring us better hardware to run OS4 on.  He deserves much better than that, even if you are one of the people that disagree with his choices (which mostly were not his choices anyway, as he left the specifications of the X1000 up to the OS4 developers and did not choose them himself).

Hopefully this won't happen again.  It was reported on AW.net that maybe more than one account was compromised, but I don't know who else had their accounts misused by the hacker.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Password reset sounds like a good idea.

Guy was claiming to sell a sub 2 GHz dual core machine for 1700 quid and other outrageous stuff.  Glad he got caught.
