Hackers Hack Me Off..

There is a reason we do not have a shopping cart on the Pecan Shed website. Several years ago our website was hacked into and the hackers changed wording in both our product descriptions and in several other areas of the site.

It seemed like they never got access to the shopping cart information we had available on the site at the time and none of our customers who did buy things online had any problems with their accounts. Regardless we decided to pull the shopping cart option from the website just to be safe.

Again today I had a customer call me to say the product descriptions had been tampered with. A hacker that goes by the name "Petros" hacked into the system, changed some product descriptions, and changed my administrators password. Thus, I could not make changes to the website.

Our hosting company is currently working on the problem and while it is nothing major it is VERY annoying and makes me glad we do not have a shopping cart.

Okay...that is my rant for the day!
