If you don’t already know, let me inform you that our NOGRS website has been compromised by what seems to be an adolescent hacker. Without getting into analyzing style and context, the messages suggest the hacker has penetrated the member’s roster’s security. Initially, I changed permissions on our member’s names. I recently restored them and the hacker is back. There’s really only 1 absolutely secure way to protect names, phone #s and addresses… not to publish them. So far only a few members have reported receiving bogus requests asking for $$ using a rather silly excuse.
You’ll notice if you now try to access the members’ roster, it will display a TV test pattern. FIY, the member’s roster will no longer be available on-line. Instead, I will send our members a file of the roster which you may print as hard-copy. If you misplace it, notify me and I will send you a replacement.
I’m sorry it has come to this inconvenience. Please know I will continue to be vigilant. If you receive an email you believe to be bogus, if you can, make a copy or screen capture. Email it to me. DO NOT reply to any questions or directives in the document. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
