This is a real cluster fuck Joe! Many emails compromised. Why where you requesting emails in the first place????
January 9, 2014 at 5:15 AM
This all smells of rotten fish! I’d say to one and all, change your emails and abandon this site. It can no longer be trusted or considered safe !!! It is written!
January 9, 2014 at 6:02 AM
Don’t know who or why my email was hacked. All back to normal now for all appearances.
John, we’ll all miss you but do as you feel you must.
January 9, 2014 at 6:08 AM
JW, is it OK to send you some links now?
January 9, 2014 at 6:35 AM
I don’t know why not.
January 9, 2014 at 4:27 PM
Sorry about the ordeal. I recently had my mail server hacked by spammers and found over 80,000 outgoing messages in the queue before I finally shut down the server. I suspect one of the computers on my LAN got a virus and opened a backdoor for spammers to run mail through a legitimate email box on my server. Of course, the message properties were well cloaked and the exact source still escapes me today.
January 9, 2014 at 6:25 AM
Defense, I have an idea for an article. Can you send me an email so I can reply with the draft for you to review?
January 9, 2014 at 1:44 PM
sure just click the contact section on my website
January 9, 2014 at 6:39 AM
John Prophet has always sounded a bit wacky to me. Can you say paranoid? Anyway, I hate to see that JW- my e-mail was once compromised in a similar fashion.
Sometimes hackers use brute force bot attacks to figure out your e-mail password. No way to keep it from happening. Just like anything else, let people know (like you did) and keep on going.
January 9, 2014 at 6:05 PM
“Can you say paranoid?” are you talking to me? ARE YOU TALKING TO ME!! Paranoid!!! ME PARANOID!!! aaaarrrrgggghhhh RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, FEET DONT FAIL ME NOW!!!

PRIVATE MESSAGE FOR JW.
The following conversation I had with Steve may give you a clue on who “hacked” your email account or who spoofed your email address.
Charles,
Can you forward it to JW? I might screw it up and everyone will see it. I just emailed JW at his ‘hacked’ account with all the info. He says on the site that it’s OK now. Posting a comment as well might be a good idea in case the email bounces. Anyway, I’ll catch up with you guys in the morning. It’s after 10pm and need some beauty sleep.
Later,
Steve V.

Nope, peterenfran@hotmail.com is Joop, I believe.
But since your email adress is known publicly he can send you a message.
Just post a comment on JW’s site for Defence to contact you.
Meanwhile JW has confirmed on his site that his email has been hacked.
There is a way to send a private message to JW.
I simply paste it below.

How to send a private message to Joseph.
As some of you have noticed, when you post a comment with more than two links it is automatically put in the moderation queue and is not published.
You see your comment and the notice ‘Your comment is awaiting moderation’. This means that your comment is not visible until it is approved by Joseph.
So, if you want to send a private message just copy the below text in the comments field and edit it accordingly. After you have posted your private message post a regular message without links so that you can be unblocked and comment as usual. Your private comment will be deleted immediately after it is read by Joseph, so that it will never become visible to anyone else.
—————————————————–
Copy Text below and paste it ianto the comments field.

This is a regular message.
January 9, 2014 at 1:43 PM
It would seem that someone was watching the site and seen that Joe was away for some hours then decided to send the emails hoping we would open them before Joe was able to warn everyone that it wasn’t from him.
Weird goings on.
The emails were sent around 5am for me, and looks like an Argentinian hacker.
January 9, 2014 at 6:04 PM
Naive’ people allow Linked-In, Facebook and dating sites to harvest their address books. When these sites (or anyone with your email address in their mail client) get hacked, your collection of addresses ends up in the hands of crooks.
January 9, 2014 at 4:03 PM
I opened the e-mail and got a “phishing” warning from Gmail. Stupidly, I proceeded and clicked on the link to open the referenced Google Docs message. My virus protection (AVG) detected a problem immediately and notified me that the threat had been removed. Despite my stupidity, no damage appears to have been done.
January 9, 2014 at 4:07 PM
Calm down. Change your password(s) and check your computers for keyboard loggers (Free version of Superantispyware works fine). Avoid using public wi-fi as they tend to be very insecure.
This sort of email hack happens to everyone sooner or later, John Prophet’s hysterical response is ridiculous.
January 9, 2014 at 7:00 PM
“John Prophet’s hysterical response is ridiculous.:o( you cut me, you cut me deep…
January 9, 2014 at 8:05 PM
No need to get hysterical. Calm down everybody.
At worst someone knows the email address of some or many of us.
That doesn’t mean he knows our usernames, passwords etc.
Unless you clicked on the link in the fraudulent message no harm has been done to you yet.
I estimate that at worst someone compromised the security of max 3 persons.
JW, was your email account really hacked or did someone simply spoof your email address?
Any clues about how that happened?
Any suspects?
Did someone examine the data (email headers of the fraudulent message, logs of logins etc.) ?
Meanwhile I suggest that everyone who got this message and anyone who comments here takes the following steps.
– Change ALL your passwords for email and the account you use to comment on this site (wordpress etc.).
If you have multiple computers or devices use the one which is most secure for changing your passwords via web.
Use the safest possible configuration for your browser (for example disable all unnecessary browser plugins/addons).
– To change the passwords in your client programs (your email program etc.) boot your OS in safe mode without network drivers.
Change the passwords in your client applcations and restart your computer in normal fashion.
That should be sufficient in most cases.
Of course you can do many more things if you suspect that your computer is directly compromised by malware etc.
A compromised computer does not necessarily have to do with this incident but it is generally good to make your computer as secure as possible.
No need to panic.
January 9, 2014 at 8:17 PM
I have no idea what happened. My son tells me that this is a common occurrence and I shouldn’t think that it was specifically aimed at me.
Running the software I recommended cleaned out over 1,400 threats, so clearly it is something that needs to be run regularly. Some web sites apparently can upload this stuff.
It’s dismaying to have this happen. One feels violated.
I believe, however, that no real damage was done to me. I hope the same is true for anyone else affected by this.
January 9, 2014 at 8:10 PM
One more thing.
If you have forgotten your old password just ask the NSA.
January 9, 2014 at 8:19 PM
Ordinarily that would make me laugh. The truth is that your joke is probably not a joke at all…

A late ”Happy new year” to you JW and all of those who support Israel and like this site ! Concerning the IT – problems troubling you JW : Considering all the news we learned about the spying activities of the US government worldwide plus that this site supports Israel
( diametral to the policies of the present US government) I am quite sure that your IT Problems ( Happening on your way to the US……..)
are created by this present ( probably illegal ) US government.
When Luis vanished from the Screen ( miss you Luis….) I started to dig in the direction which Luis hinted at – I didnt dig very much, but it was enough to shake me – to shock me…..! I’m n ot a 20 years old Greenhorn and I’m not crazy either…..PLZ check the site WND for yourself, or Jesse Ventura on Youtube…….
January 9, 2014 at 10:51 PM
That’s a good question….what happened to Luis? If you know, email me, but no links.
January 9, 2014 at 11:59 PM
No idea. He just disappeared.
January 9, 2014 at 11:59 PM
No idea. He just disappeared.

January 10, 2014 at 12:07 AM

January 10, 2014 at 8:34 AM
I received an email as well but it sounded way fishy. I sent you an email asking you if you had sent this to me. Never opened it thankfully

Joe set your laptop at the highest security level wile traveling
aka public Internet accesses.
January 10, 2014 at 4:25 PM
Or you could turn it off, remove the battery, wrap it in an RF proof bag, place it a dark closet, and burn some incense on the next full moon. Otherwise you’re basically screwed. (Just kidding Joop).
January 10, 2014 at 4:57 PM
No offense taken, but there are nice add ons for fire fox like anti spoofing etc etc
