Probassfisher Hacked

#1 Post by JimH »

My website Probassfisher has been hacked - the domain has been acquired by someone else and content from the original site replicated via wordpress and placed on www.probassfisher.com.

Whilst this is my content it is not the original site. This has all been reported etc

I am posting at www.jimhendrick.com for the moment

Thanks

I dont really know T - if you go to www.probassfisher.com now somebody has created a wordpress blog imported data from probassfisher and it is now sitting on the .com

the e-mail is probass@probassfisher.com

I checked whois and have the details

I have moved all to www.probassfisher.ie but this in itself regarding re-directs rankings etc is all something i dont need at the moment

I just wanted to make sure that seven years of ranting and wailing about bass was ok and alive as I do have intentions of moving to www.jimhendrick.com as an experiment

amyways its there now again for what its worth.

That's got to be annoying, alright.

Some of the links (boat, shop etc) are directing to .com instead of .ie, by the way.
