Subject: ALERT! From Full Moon Rising RC

Hi People,

Well this has been an interesting few days. Starting with last Thursday, all of my online resources have been hit by unkown hackers for unkown reasons.

It started last Thursday when I was blocked from all of my email accounts at four different servers. It has been verified too that others could not get messages to me at these accounts. And also that
these email servers in general were were still functioning for other people.

Yesterday my yahoo e-groups were hit by being closed down. Apparently, this was accomplished by someone with my yahoo ID password. The password has been changed. The two newest groups were not yet active to any extent, so I have just deleted those. But I have reactivated FMREZ_TALK with these changes for security purposes.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FMREZ_TALK

Our group is no longer public.
It is open only to members.
I pre-approve all membership applications.
I pre-approve first time messages from new members.
And the attachments function of course is still disabled.

The other thing hit yesterday was my website, Full Moon Rising RC at;
http://members.tripod.com/fmrez/

I have been in contact with Tripod, and they assure me that they did not have anything to do with my website disappearing. They said it appears that someone gained access to my account password, and then went in and deleted all of my online files from the site File Manager. So needless to say, that password has been changed. I have a number of silent partners in this who have provided web space for the various portals of FMR RC through their own accounts. So today we have been in contact and making sure that our efforts are all on the same page, so to speak, and discussing what needs to be done.

Fortunately I have been using the offline version of Trellix Web Builder and have all of Full Moon Rising RC and all of its portals still in tact. What I will be doing is consolidating FMR RC to less URLs, so it isn't so spread out, and password security will be tighter. That will help to make us a little less vulnerable.

Just to assure everyone, these attacks have been online only. This has not in anyway affected my real or personal life.

Again, I have no idea who did this or why. Tripod and Yahoo don't seem to know either, at least not yet.

Full Moon Rising RC will be up and running ASAP. I don't give in to this kind of intimidation.

Be Safe and Be Blessed,

Ani
