1) would dyncorp be that stupid - start a hack from their own page here? Why that page? Why not cover their tracks by coming in elsewhere? Why use an identifying IP - these people have tools and skillz. 2) would a bad acting mod be that stupid - burn all his chances of obstructing the cause by carelessly deleting everything? Just my opinion but looks to me like the mod actios and the hack might be both done by 'friends', designed to get us to focus on these issues.

If you know anything about my history by all means I'm not trying to pull a fast one on anyone and I have absolutely no connection to any of the mods here. I posted this as quick as I could because after what happened at the Review I wanted to be sure the content got out to people before it could be taken down.

Trust me, I want nothing more than for my site to NOT be the target of a vicious attack, but until then, making it public is our best protection.

Thank you and I completely understand the skepticism at this point

Next time take a screen shot of the page showing the Dyncorp page was access from Waltham MA. Make sense? Just you saying you saw they were from Waltham MA isn't enough. :-)

I understand. Mind you, I had no idea Waltham was even a place on earth until the name came up on my Google Analytics live overview as the attack was happening. Some of this stuff you just can't make up.

Wasn't the IP address from CachedNet in Delaware? How would Google Analytics even find Waltham if the ip was from a place in Delaware? Maybe the attacker had a Google account and that was picked up?

Exactly why I thought it worth still bringing up. The location data that appears in Analytics does not necessarily come from the IP registrar a I haven't received any traffic from Wilmington, Delaware. Waltham is a particularly unique location, however, because you can see in Update 7 that Google Analytics ends up storing that location as (not set).

You might try SnagIt for making screen captures easier. It save me a lot of time. https://www.techsmith.com/snagit.html

To be honest I never used analytics thinking something like this would happen and the DynCorp page wasn't even made by me. The whole scenario was sort of like spotting a UFO that was there for just a few minutes while you were at work or something, it just seemed so out of place. I got SnagIt on the toolbar now though, thanks!
