Site Restored from Backup
We were hacked again earlier today, so sorry about the downtime. We were restored from a backup from a couple of days ago, so you may see some missing posts in the forum and elsewhere. If you’ve submitted items to any sections of the site in the last day or two, you may want to resubmit them. Thanks for your patience.

Again? Sheesh. I might have to draw my sword to their faces if they don’t stop…
I don’t believe it! Someone must have a grudge against CoE or something. Why are they doing this, anyway? We haven’t done anything! Ah well, sadly I suppose there’ll always be some people who get their kicks out of doing stuff like this… *mutters very uncomplimentary things about hackers*
If you need helptracking them down, let me know, that is what i do all day. InfoSec
hackers again?! good mandos!… it’s probably some trekki nut that doesn’t like lotr, and wants to get his revenge. lol!
*draws sword out with pippin_luv* i’m in total agreement with you pippin_luv, it’s time for weapons! *evil grin*
*sigh* of course, right after I do all this Realm work….
May the hacker be stomped by a troll, eaten by a fell beast, tossed about by an ent, and sent to the deepest pits of the halls of Mandos.
I’m seriously upset with this guy… What have we ever done to them?
GOSH!!! Curse these darn hackers!! Damn!!! *mutters colourful curses*.
Seriously, I agree with Merides…What HAVE we ever done to them?
Here is a website giving IP addresses of those who attempted to hack his site (according to site, this list gets updated):
IP addresses of Hackers
This might help a little, but what I’ve done is gone to Stop Forum Spam , and just ban those IP addresses by default. However, this won’t get the IP addresses of terrorist hackers.
Security forums has some good tips that might work.
Best wishes!
Great idea! It might take a little longer for non-hackers to get in too, but nothing can stop us from magical world of Tolkien! My only request is that the update screen stays on the .net website. I often just pop onto the website to check for updates if I have just a few minutes.
“A day may come when the courage of men fails. When we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. A day of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day. This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand Men of the West!”-Aragorn, Rotk film.
We cannot let these hacker get to us!
Horrible! What’s wrong with these guys anyway? Can you believe that I registered like 2 days before? I had to register again. I simply don’t understand them!
