Will Smith Opens Scientology School | Chanology News

“New Village Academy will lead the world in identifying innovative learning styles, educational best practices and the ingredients for enduring prosperity.” This quote is from the Vision Statement of the new school being funded and founded by Will Smith. Some of the “innovative learning styles” are Montessori, the Constructivist Model, and L. Ron Hubbard Study Tech, among others.

I guess we can add Will Smith to the not-so-secret Scientologist and no cash from Kevin list.

When Scientology stops taking cash for it’s “secrets” I’ll stop hating it. I’ve worked with Scientologists and seen behind the curtain there. There is no “There” There. Just paranoia and self-sustaining self-delusion.

Poor Will, his career was doing well, why did he feel the need to drink the Kool-aid?

Didn’t he see this?

You have been Phished

It seems that the flood of people clicking on links from emails that purport to be from banks continues unabated.  Please visit these links and protect yourself from Phishing, okay?  Oh, and if you are using windows and Internet Explorer 5 or 6, upgrade to Firefox, Opera  or IE7, your computer and bank account will thank you.

Web Stats Since Hack

Web Stats Since Hack, originally uploaded by NiteMayr.

With the redirect I have in place, these should be the last stats I see from this hack, but on Thursday someone used my uploads system to create a phishing website and by Sunday their phishing email was out there.

I’ve redirected the phished URLs to an anti-phishing advice site but I’m fairly freaked out by the sheer number of folks who have been taken in by this.

Over 500 people have clicked through, 450+ since I removed the hacked content.

This sucks for them, it really does.

I was hacked!

Published by NiteMayr on May 19, 2008
I was hacked and for a couple days, without my knowledge was used for phishing. I don’t have logs that go far enough back to show when it happened beyond on the 15th and for the most part I don’t care when it happened. I just got rid of the files as fast as possible and wiped out the directories.

I asked my provider to go ahead and pass along any information about the breach to paypal who asked for logs and so on.

Maybe I should have kept the files?

Hopefully no one was taken in by the scammers.
