Hi all,

I've had to make the decision to shut down all of my DFAN
activities until I can figure out who is is consistently hacking my
computer and my online accounts. This week the person disabled my
modem, and has something running in my computer that won't allow me to
install another modem. A customer service representative at the
computer company says it looks like they have disabled some parts of my
mother board too. This all amazes me because I had Zone Alarm up and
running for about two weeks...so they've broken through that and a Norton
Anti-virus program.

If you go to the websites and notice that files are missing or
that material is there that doesn't look viable or looks confusing, it's
because the websites have been attacked too.

I tried to use an older computer to get online over the past few
days, but that computer was hacked too, so I'm in a corner right now
(where I don't want to be).

Since, the attack is apparently personal in nature I have to go
offline. Writing this e-mail is tough for me, since the person doing it
might be reading it right now and have a sense of accomplishment in
shutting down DFAN (and my other projects down)....but I felt I had to
let you all know what was going on.

Until I can find something to protect my computer and/or find out
who is doing these things to me DFAN (and all the DFAN activities,
e-mails, discussion lists, etc....) is going to be frozen.

I hope this all is taken care of soon, but I have no way of
knowing when things might get back to normal.

Belver
