Friday 5 for September 26: Hacked!

Filed under: This Week's Friday 5 — scrivener @ 9:38 am

If you happened to drop by sometime between last Saturday and just a day or two ago, you saw a message saying that my websites were hacked. That’s actually not what happened, but it might as well have been. My webhost moved servers without telling me, and when I saw what I thought was a destructive hack, I took steps to repair the damage, thus interfering with the process and slowing down the return to normalcy.

Looks like that return did happen, though, so let us dive in. As always, please copy these questions to your online journal. Answer the questions there, then leave a comment below so we can see your responses. Please don’t forget to link us from your website!

  1. When did someone last break something of yours?
  2. When did you last play hackysack, if ever?
  3. What was your most dramatic haircut like?
  4. Hacking is basically breaking through the security that protects a computer or a website. What’s the closest you’ve come to doing something similar in real life?
  5. In the world of stand-up comedy, a hack is a comic who steals jokes from other comics. Have you ever known a hack in your own field?

Thanks for participating, and have a non-destructive weekend!
