|
|
I haven't been posting the last couple of days because my computer completley crashed. I had to do a system recovery, and everything was erased.
At first I thought it was just the computer , but after reading about this hacker I'm wondering if he had something to do with it...???
Now that I think about it I was trying to log back on to PCF when it crashed, then Firefox had to close because of an "unknown error" and then all hell broke loose, my computer shut down, and I couldn't even start Windows.
Could a hacker have anything to do with that? |

Not likely. He didn't attack the server just the forum software. Your IP address is likely stored in the MySQL database which was unscathed. |

| Nevertheless he speaks the truth.The server was not compromised or the hacker would have been able to really do damage.We would have to completely rebuild the site if that had happened. |

| If he had wanted into your computer he would want to insert a trojan or something like that to take control, not crash you so you don't have anything to worry about. |
