Political Website Hacked to Run Spam Script
On Sunday, a human being registered to use our website [www.DownsizeDC.org], sent a message to Congress, and then "ran a script" on our system to generate nearly 50,000 pieces of spam through our server.More here.
As a result, America Online has temporarily blacklisted us. AOL users probably won't get this message.
We discovered the problem this morning. The offending registration has been deleted and the problem has been patched so the script will not work again. Our database was never compromised or at risk of being compromised.
