That's awesome!  Great work on tracking him down and reporting him!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we had a run in with "latinpimp" on one of my company's sites.  He found a hole and was able to delete some user account data from our server.

You'll be happy to know that we tracked him down with the help of his school (which he was doing some of this from), and he has been caught and suspended.  We've filed a complaint with the FBI and are waiting to hear back from them.  I think its safe to say that his hacking days are over.

The World of Warcraft guild Im in website was hacked last week as well (he was chinese).  I will make fun of chinese pharmers in game whenever they talk in "say" so maybe it was some sort of payback.  The funniest thing is the website has almost no info on it as we are all IRL friends and just talk in game, over the phone or in person.  The main feature of the site is we post our parties and cookouts.  I would guess that the high profile sites have been hit and our hacker must have drawn the shortest straw.

Big Smile [:D] Nothing is wrong with a semi, if, oh, say, you DRIVING a semi! My dad's truck has good steering, but going from that small Mazda to a Fullsize truck with a longbed, I feel like I'm about 10' in the air and the truck feels like it is about twice as long as it really is! I have driven a couple old Dodge trucks back in high school when the old beater trucks is all me and my buddies could afford, they all had HORRIBLE steering! Half a turn just to change lanes...

Don't worry, I only made you a couple enemies Big Smile [:D] Turns out it wasn't yours, as soon as I went to "Home" it was the same way so I registered, and it put me in. I was kinda dissapointed, I was hoping to have a good time, like when the parents would give you their credit card when you were a teenager, you didn't have the guts to use it for anything but what you were instructed to do, but it was still fun to fanticiseEvil [}:)] Thanks for the link, seems like a really nice site.

That sucks. People can be such idiots when they are bored! Then again, some people are just idiots naturally! Hey guys, look at that pretty art work, lets tear it up, that would be cool! Stupid people suck! I can't stand people that want to tear up nice looking or working things just cause its there! IDIOTS!!! A'men to whoever wants to beat these people with wooden spoons and leather belts! Angry [:(!] Does anybody have a link to this site? (ARC)? Thanks and sorry for the rant, SoapBox [soapbox]I just don't like people that want to tear stuff up for no reason.

Hhhmm, I saw on ARC that Steve is spending a weekend off.

I believe he will be a little bit "srewed up" with all this mess he had to deal with...

Hopefully ARC forums will be back online soon...

Just an update to the ARC situation.

Steve has tried unsuccessfully to bring the board back up and has employed some technical support to get everything working again. It might yet be a few days before ARC re-emerges.

Rest assured there will be changes made to ensure ARC does not get hacked again.

Basically,what i was told was the e-mail is a verification from the back up site asking you to verify your a member & you'll get one after every post.The is a button on the reply thread saying "send daily updates" & in order to get these,you need to verify membership.

The downside is,from what I've been told,is you get bombarded with SPAM!!! And I aint talking Monyty Python here !!!!!

I've noticed a lot of hobby forums using PHPBB (don't know what ARC uses) software have been hit lately, word must be out on hacker boards. I noticed the "hacker proof " logo here, if I were a hacker that would be an irresistable challenge!

Keep us posted on the response you get back. Be careful tho, it might not be from ARC. One cannot be too careful right now with that Forum at this time.

I still have to choke down a laugh every time I think about a hacker named 'latinpimp'.  Dude if your such a pimp why are you wasting time bothering us geeks.  Or are you impressing all your women with your mad hacking skillz?  You Are A Dork!!!!!!!

They seem to have found some info about this idiot Latinpimp. He hacked several other forums, and they found one forum and site he's member of ( hackers website ).

Hope this never happends to FSM, or I'll kill that ************ !

I'm sure the Air Force & Navy guys here & on ARC would love to shove a few JDAM's down his throat! (long line to hit the pickle tho!!!)
