Very strange indeed. And Google doesn't come up with anything for "NeverEverNoSanity WebWorm generation 13."

if I find out who's responsible..... I'll string 'em up on the floor at copps on dec 31.... and give everyone in the building a free beer mug.

Interesting... I hope our info is safe.
- schaggs - 12-20-2004
My info is probably out of date anyway, so I'm not sure I am too concerned, but chances are the info isn't stored on the webpage directly, but likely on a remote and encrypted server, so chances are you're ok. I wouldn't worry yet. Das hips will probably release a statement about it soon, anyhow.

lol
I doubt the Hip will release anything about it, considering they seem to have forgotten about it...
Hey remember when devoted hip fans didn't have to pay to get a b-side?

Hmmm...some disgruntled fan, perhaps? Or is it management's way of eliminating it: "Sorry fans, a worm ate the data; it was fun while it lasted...muwahahahahahaa."
- Chris Tanz - 12-20-2004
I think management did a bang up job of eliminating it pre-worm. That "never-updating" was a neat trick.

Maybe that worm is what happens to websites that have months of inactivity. Its a cyber-rot.

Essentially somebody has gained root access to the server thehipclub.com is hosted on and has changed the web pages. Probably due to the lack of administration being done on the server that houses thehipclub.com.
Also the SSL certificate expired May 30/03.

bt.etree.org is the same way.

and now it works again :roll:

The Waking Eyes site was also defaced by the nevernosanity worm :roll:
