The on-line reality for webmasters is that many nasty hackers are out there lurking, just waiting for an opportunity to render your blog unreadable. When attacked by experts, your site can be sucked dry of text, rejigged into a pile of pixels or literally left smouldering. So how do you protect yourself from such an attack? Forewarned is forearmed! This is what the Pisstakers had to recover from at 12.40am last night.

First sign of trouble

Some unknown graphic appears on screen, unannounced.

The first clue that this is bad news

There is text floating past this window. I recognised solitaire, and many other words associated with The Pisstakers

Worst case scenario - total text removal

At 12.40, the Pisstakers was no more. Thank you Net Disaster!
