Hacker Wanted

[paulmcmann]

Hi, I'm looking for a hacker who can temporarily take down a website. Someone purchased my name and made what i consider to false and unsubstantiated claims on it. I'm going the legal route to take it down, but while the wheels of justice slowly turn, I'd like the site to have some temporary difficulties. The website is www.paulmcmann.com Thanks

Unlucky.

Perhaps you deserve this?

Seems like you've managed to piss some folks off bigtime.

Is this you?

Mods- Why wasn't this post locked/deleted? Kind of crazy that you are allowing this kind of thing to go on. And I can't believe that jupmedia is ok with people using their site to solicit illegal services... Do your jobs..

Why is it crazy that everybody's trying to show him the legal way to go about this?

I don't see anyone condoning his intentions; rather, I see a discussion on what a bad idea it is, and on the legal and technical aspects of cases like this.

Negative's response seems OK to me. This is a somewhat strange situation so has not been met with a hasty response?

If you "own" a website and someone steals it from you, are you legally entitled to recover your property? I think that all Paul was asking for was a "repo man" or "baliff"?

Naturally the answers to all this depend on exactly where you live?

My personal view was that although the original suggestion/request was not the best way to go; the thread was still a good one as it raises interesting legal questions.

Just my thoughts

I agree with Neg and Nihil.....great topic for discussion.

This is such a grey area......who owns the property if you post a picture of yourself public...does it become public property....for anyone to do what ever they what with....???

There has to be some avenue the OP can take without resorting to illegal activites.....and I for one am curious what they are???

Off topic>

is there an awful lot of whinning on this site lately.....

or is it just me

Me and a lot of other people.

Funny thing is I hadn't even thought about the website in months and was willing to go no further until he brought it all to my attention. I wouldn't even be on this forum if he had not tried to solicit a hacker. Guess I'll have to update the website now with all the info, and there's lots of it.

Three points:

1. The domain has lapsed ownership and therefore was available to anybody, so I bought it.
2. The picture is available through public access (not on the web). Is it copyrighted?
3. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. What's wrong with that?



If you can't stand the truth, don't do the deed.

[morganlefay]

Well....truthteller

If its slander\libel...then it is against the law....


So Paul...I would suggest you engage a lawyer...get to the bottom of it....

I have a great lawyer here in Canada....a real bull dog so to speak.....

Hello there!

Just a friendly reminder that this website is not a legal resource.

Greeting's

First of all I'm sorry for you, if this is legit. Secondly arent you taking the same (illigal) route that he/she took (in a way) ?

I'm sorry that I cant help much. But I think most members will show you LEGAL way of speeding up the procedure.

All the best.

slander slan-der - noun - a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report

libel li-bel - law - anything that is defamatory or that maliciously or damagingly misrepresents.

Neither of those apply when it's the truth and can be backed up with public records.

Would your lawyer be interested in seeing the attachment one of his previous lawyers put on him for $15,000 that took 13 months to discharge?

Not to mention that HE was soliciting for a FEDERAL crime and someone did try to hack the website a few days later.

I'd like the problem taken care of. Sorry you don't agree with the method, but I believe the ends justify the means. I'm a month into it on the legal road, and that too has cost a lot of money. Quite frankly, I think this will be much cheaper; however, it will only be a temporary solution. If you know some of those websites, I'll take my chances.
