WARNING: STAY AWAY FROM KOOLBEAR's website!!

Post by []V[]essenjah »

Guys, I don't mean to bring any fame to these @$$holes, but I feel that I need to warn everyone to stay away from Koolbear's website. It HAS BEEN HACKED.

MD-2389 told me that the site was hacked. I couldn't remember what Koolbear's site was, it had been so long since I had visited it, so I looked it up, figuring that since MD told me, Koolbear had probably allready somewhat addressed the situation to some extent. Usually when people tell me that a site has been hacked, it has allready been torn down.


BTW Krom, you shouldn't be poking fun at this. If you had known what image was displayed on that site, you wouldn't be making a joke out of it either.

I didn't look close enough to check for spelling errors but I would imagine that they probably couldn't spell worth ★■◆●.

You will see some very morbid images that no one should ever have to see.

I just hope what I saw was a fake.

It's supposedly a picture of a decapitated person.

Looks like our hacker has his very own Geocities website too:
http://www.geocities.com/xxmxx_com/

Interesting stuff there. Looks like I exceeded his Geocities bandwidth for the moment though.

Looks like he advertises that his email address is zone_war@hotmail.com too. I wonder if it's legit? I mean what sort of hacker gives out information like that? Oh well. Regardless, just by posting it here it'll at least be getting a little bit more spam. For a Hotmail account, I'm sure that's nothing new under the sun anyways.

I wasn't poking fun at the site, I was poking fun at your "world is coming to an end" post before you edited it. This is the internet, *&%$ like this happens almost every day, it is pointless to get up in arms about it.

I understand Krom. I knew I flipped a bit. It was only a couple seconds after I saw it and I was pretty shocked by it. I have never seen a real person decapitated before. Only in movies ecs. where I understood it was all fake.

Heh, I guess it's ok to flip out; most people become desensitized to this kind of stuff. I've seen plenty of footage on TV where they show plane crashes, the WTC collapsing, etc. You may not see it as clearly as someone getting decapitated right in front of the camera, but there is plenty of "real people" death on TV.

I believe that was one of the contractors that volunteered to go over there.

Hate to tell you this, but it wasn't a fake pic by no means.
He was a contractor/ engineer who worked on the black hawk helicopter for the US. The group that killed him were killed after they were seen dumping the body. So they didn't get away with what they did to him!

Please forgive sick people, I found out that the site was hacked prior to Aug 2 because the backup was corrupted then.

Everything should be fine for now, I am still trying to figure out if one of my applications was used to hack it.

If you see this happen again please let me know!

I'm guessing this was one of those hacksaw-style murder for TV's the iraqi "resistance" has been releasing?

No video from what I read in the news. Just photos of what they did to the poor guy.

Only a truly deprived sicko would post the images of a decapitated hostage and get joy out of it. Oughta dump that two-bit Geocities hacker in the middle of Iraq.

Looks like the idiot does a lot of phishing judging by the various faked email login pages. I don't know if anyone has reported him to geocities yet, but I'm going to.

Somebody should shove a pineapple up his ass, pointy side up. Then force him to watch telletubbies. If he posted his address that is..... ;)

Wow, that form looks like it was made by someone that knows nothing about the Internet.
