Until MV understands what happened, he needs to know how to fix it. It's a pretty simple fix. Is he too proud to ask? @WelfareNation

Eat shit, Keith, you uppity fuck.

That's what I mean! I didn't think it would be open until Twitter told me, via the non-hashtag search of "bellgab" there. I don't understand IRC, honestly. When it was new it was wizardry, and now it's so hipster that I never go there. But there it was, alive and well -- the beating heart of bellgab, and if we're all looking for praise here, I suggested that we not shut down until you came in for reals, not the hacked MV.

That was probably my tweet you saw with the chat link.  What stood out for me is how few Bellgabbers seem to know how to use Twitter, think we need a crash course between now and July to get everyone up to speed.  Twitter works great as a marketing tool if used properly.

I found the new hangout over at the artbell FB page after the site went down last night. And I also learned that you can't legally redirect on a DMCA takedown which tipped me off that it was a hostile and illegal takeover. I checked horrorreport.com and they have done a small update.

Any site can be easily hacked, but it shows the vulnerabilities in putting all the communications in one place. If this were closer to air time and Art needed the word to be spread, the timing could have really sucked. --GNS

Way smarter re: how to think online. What can the English majors among us do to help? I remember SETI did something cool with connected computers back in the late '90s. And Princeton's PEAR before that. Something along those lines?

Aaaaand now I'm caught up.   But my head hurts.  Time for a rum and coffee, a vape and some mind numbing viewing.
Glad you're back Bellgab.  Missed you.

It was! I'm glad you posted! You are somewhat elusive on my twitter deck, but I do have a lot of columns open at once. If folks want to hear more about how to use the Twitter, well, I don't know.

I wish there were an easier way to like a post. CodePen has a really great beating-heart system that actually has three levels of red color. Sigh. This will have to do. Like:

Nothing like being greeted by Noory's ugly mug.

Glad to see everything running smoothly. I was on Art's facebook page last night and a lot of people were saying Noory was behind the attack. Sorry, no. Noory isn't smart enough to hack a site.

I don't think people mean Dave did it, I think some people mean Dave hired people to do it.

Probably paid in Pizza Rolls.

[eddie dean]

Hey wr thanks for holding down the chat fort while all the craziness and uncertainty was going on.

YES! Wr250 doesn't get recognized enough for the work he does behind the scenes in the chat!
Thanks Wr250! Esp for the last 12 hours! Your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

So is there a gabcast later today or was it already done?

GabCast live tonight 6pm Eastern 3pm Pacific

[NXOEED]

If it weren't for the Member List and the "show posts" function, I'd never know what to do with this thread.

What a surreal read.

[HK-50]

Be great if Art would call and chime in on all the craziness!

This could be the case. But if Noory is responsible, he made a very poor, very stupid decision.

[stevenotero]

He at least had some kind of knowledge about it. The "going to war" comment on Friday (I believe) was no coincidence.

As I noted in the chat last night, on a recent C2C episode Noory seemed to perk up with extreme interest when discussing the "dark web" of sites where you can easily hire people like HACKERS to do your bidding: http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2015/02/24

Show Archive
Date:   Tuesday - February 24, 2015
Host:   George Noory
Guests:   Marc Goodman, Prof. Jim Bell
Marc Goodman, who has worked as the FBI's Futurist in Residence, an LAPD beat cop, and an Interpol and UN advisor in over 70 countries on cybercrime and cyberterrorism, discussed the history of cybercrime, and its future and current applications. Hacking starts with reconnaissance by bad guys looking at ways to access computer system through vulnerabilities in software, and sometimes even hardware, he explained. The number of real world bank robberies are down with the average theft around $4,000, while the average cyber heist is well over $1 million, he cited, adding that there's been an upsurge in low level criminals buying "crimeware" --software that they can use anywhere.

Cyber criminals are now laundering their profits through digital currency such as Bitcoin, and the use of "mules"-- people they hire to unwittingly move money for them, Goodman reported. One of the fastest growing cybercrimes is medical ID theft, in which a patient's record is compromised, and then the criminal sells the patient's medical account to uninsured people who use it for various services, procedures, and items-- costing an average of $20,000, he detailed. According to a recent study, the global cost of cybercrime on an annual basis is a staggering $400 billion.

One new tactic of organized criminals is to infiltrate or pose as construction teams or repair people in order to plant wiretaps, or USB drives in computers, at places like banks, Goodman revealed. Additionally, the so-called 'Internet of Things,' in which more and more household items have online capabilities, is making citizens more vulnerable to attacks. He also shed light on the "dark web," subterranean Internet content that's encrypted on a router, like the notorious Silk Road, which served as a black market for illegal drugs.

Of course I'll be at a movie. I always seem to miss the cast live. At least I caught the emergency one this morning.

Does anyone know if Art calling in is a violation of the NC? Because that'd be cool to see happen again.

The "going to war" comment on Friday (I believe) was no coincidence.

I forgot all about that. He did say we were going to war. Noory.. what a dumbass.

I bet he never thought about what would happen when the hacker is caught and they tell all.

ill post a quick tutorial on irc soon. irc was one of the 1st servers to hit the new internet in the 80's. and it was the 1st real time chat. it was chosen for its robustness and ability of operators to control.

[SnapT]

I am the KING of late night radio. Long live the new KING!!! I deserve the crown.
This is a riot your upset over a king's crown lol..we are about ready to go to war and YOURE concerned about my avatar

You can't read this post and believe Noory didn't know what was about to happen to BellGab.  He knew.  "We are ABOUT READY to go to war..."

I used to use it a fair amount, years ago, but I couldn't even figure out how to pm someone on the gabcast irc.

[morgana213]

I would be surprised if dave didn't know about this.  I am so HAPPY we are back!!!!  Thanks MV and crew for getting us back!

Noory has an airtight alibi.  He was a contestant on American Idol last night.

I hate you, Keith. You're a miserable human being and you make Art look bad just by association.
