Hello Fellow Hawks!!

Beginning yesterday afternoon and continuing today, it looks like we've been under an internet attack.

It appears that the answers to our registration questions have been either distributed to spammers or used directly in a spamming attack by someone (no speculation ).

As a result, we've suddenly become an international site with people from around the world (including Antarctica) signing up as members of the US Hawks!!



Here's the list of locations (from all over the world) where hang glider pilots are now flocking to the US Hawks:

• Senegal
• Iraq
• Tajikistan
• Belarus
• Russia
• Mozambique
• Japan
• The Bahamas
• Estonia
• Sri Lanka
• Mongolia
• Philippines
• Netherlands Antilles
• El Salvador
• Cape Ver
• Malawi
• Ukraine
• Paraguay
• Czech Republic
• Ukraina
• Bahrain
• Costa Rica
• Norfolk Island

Here's the list of registrations:

To stem this tide, I've temporarily changed the registration process to require a phone call to myself to verify that new registrants are real people. That should stop this attack dead in its tracks.

Good work and good plan Bob.

Thanks and sorry.

Hey Hawks,
I noticed early on that the Hawks was loading slow on my computer but thought Obama Care might be slowing down the internet. Later I compared "The Hawks" to other sites and that’s when I figured "The Hawks" might be under attack.
From the volume of attackers in such a short time span from around the world it is obvious that there is a network of hackers that had been tipped off as to how to gain access.
I wonder which person in our sport tipped off the hacker network as to the answer to the two question passwords?
Oops! That’s not accurate -- I have a good ideal off of my very short list as to who the Judas was that did this.

I was able to post a new video of and by Matt Hayes flying recently at the Magdalena Rim on the Hawks Demo Forum. Go check it out.

[Bob Kuczewski]

my very short list as to who the Judas was that did this.

There are people who care more about their own little fifedoms than they do about the sport of hang gliding.   

I was in Salt Lake City the past few days, so I haven't been working on the registration problem (other than passing out the codes to people who've called me). I'll give it some more attention this weekend so we can make it relatively convenient for new members while still filtering out the spammers.
