(TheWeatherSpace.com) — An Indonesian hacker was responsible for the downtime of TheWeatherSpace.com, and TWS is warning all on the Internet about this.
The Website, Social Network Passwords, and E-mail accounts were held ransom on Thursday. These accounts were accessed through a GMAIL account setup to control some of the activities. They have been switched from that account to secure server accounts.
No files were accessed on the Website control panel. The hack was done by changing GoDaddy.com nameserver destinations and GoDaddy has secured it so no Website information was taken.
