ArtisticAlley.org has been hijacked by some assholes over at BNMQ.com - they somehow managed to change our DNS to their website.

I am working on legal papers, and getting in touch with register.com to fix everything up. Hopefully all will be back to normal soon.

That sucks! How did they manage to do that? Hope you get it sorted soon xxx

No idea. Hope we can find out from Register.com without a subpoena, but we're getting in touch with the Houston FBI anyway.

Are the Houses for fiction still safe, or have they been hijacked as well?

And good luck getting things back to normal.

They seem to be fine, and we're putting extra protections in place immediately.

Btw, none of this impacts the content, which is safe on our dragon.com servers.

I'm not real sure how that works but does it mean that all the art posted there is lost?

I thought they could only take addresses that were unclaimed and unpaid for. Please update soon on what happened.

Am fairly certain it's not lost...it should still be on our server, which is safe and intact, it's just they managed to convince somebody to point www.artisticalley.org over to their server.

Ah, gotcha.

[annearchy.livejournal.com]

That's totally bogus. I hope y'all get that squared away soon. Are the legal papers so AA/FA can sue them?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. They are.

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

I hope you scare the crap outta them
That's one of the lowest things I've seen in a long time.

Sic 'em.

And isn't it lucky that I have some friendly lawyers in Houston?

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Extremely lucky! Keep us posted.

[bibliophile20.livejournal.com]

well, that's polite; why would they do something like that? they couldn't have expected to get away with it...

[prettyveela.livejournal.com]

Assholes! Get em Heidi.

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

O__O omg, that's horrible. I hope it gets sorted out soon.

[jellybellys.livejournal.com]

Fuckers. Go get 'em, Heidi!
