Hackers are Idiots! VGYD hacked :-(

Not really designoriented but what the heck!

Van Gorkom Yacht Design has been hacked for some stupid reason.
I can't understand what makes people like that tick...

If anyone have their email please send them a msg that they've been hacked by some *****!

gvg@vgyd.com ... not sure if it will go through though since that may have been hacked as well depending on how their server was compromised

(you can use google's View Cached Page or the WayBack Machine at www.archive.org to see snapshots of what a web site looked like a while back.)

I wasn't sure if he would get the email I sent, so I gave him a call (I've never talked with him before, so it was a little awkward calling out of the blue to tell him that his site had been hacked ) so he's on it now.

VGYD Hacked

Thanks to all for the heads-up. The leason learned is that you do not want to have a password that can be easily deciphered by hackers. A combination of letters, numbers and symbols is the best defense.
