Will DU go be hacked again on election day?

[skip fox]

Last time it was down for a few days if I remember correctly.

Is the site better prepared? They will attempt to close us down again. That's a given.

1. Who are you asking? The oracle of future knowledge?

I have every faith in the admins being ready for whatever gets thrown at the site.

2. That was horrifying and

terrifying.

It's what clued me in that things were not going to end well.....

3. A lot has changed in 4 years

But I think we can trust that Elad and EarlG are on top of things.

4. pretty sure the site owners are aware it was hacked in 2016

5. I've got great confidence in Earl and Co.

Smart people usually learn quickly and improve.

12. I have

confidence in DU. But that was horrible I was so lost when that happened. Let's be hopeful this time. Fucking hackers!!!

6. I *hope* that doesn't happen again! That was awful!

I think EarlG and Elad are up to the task of making sure it doesn't happen this time.

7. I think that the site (DU) is as prepared as one can be. If anything, perhaps the last attack ...

better prepared the site for handling future attacks, if any.

Usually, the good administrators of DU will send out a notice to all DU members regarding election day, I seem to recall this on a couple of occasions that they (the administrators) shipped out to DU members in the days before an election...they may have already but I haven't seen anything yet.

9. I saw this message on the log-in page:

We're sorry, but new user registrations are currently disabled. Registrations will be re-enabled again after Election Day, so please check back after November.

Admins are on it.

10. Yes, thank you. I saw this message, probably smart, to not allow any new sign ups to further ...

protect the DU site/us. Take care!

8. Nope. n/t

11. I had to redo my name and everything

Lost like 3 or so years of my post counts too.

Had to start all over again with a similar handle because I couldn't remember my old password It was on an account I used to have but no longer had. Plus there were glitches messing with my attempted log ins.

I hope this site isn't hacked. And if it is hacked I hope the hackers go to jail and are forced to pay DU shitloads of money.
