    No, it was partly my fault, lack of knowledge, sloppy administration and things like that, and the hackers where in, loading own php code - used the server to send spam- hosting company's IP got "black listed" and wanted to stop my account. I had to delete all code, databases off the server, and block access to the site. In sort- hacker broke my site To me hackers are like rapists, I hate them!

    Eskom..Escom...damn..This is a governmental institution. How can a "top official" earn millions and receive millions of bonuses for operating a para government institution?

    The stupidity of the last weeks news reports is that Escom increased their loans with 16 odd billion. from 87 to 113 roughly. Also said they made a profit of 14 billion. Now loan at 113 odd billion in stead of 87 odd billion. With this in mind and fiscal control, i would have used the profit to pay at least 10% of the loan, therefor having a 10 year plan to be "debt free". But no... they would rather give bonusses to the "top officials" there. Leaving us with further increases that are bound to follow. Now does that make sense? What happened to justice, accountability, and a demographic society ship?
    Isnt a semi socialist state type of control better than this?
    In our lifetime we can "create" the beter life for all, but im bound to not experience it , as this corrupt system, officials etc. will haunt my life and makes you wonder ...why do we live. if not for the opportunity granted to us to use all our skills, talents and abilities to enhance and contribute to life and do our social responsibility, we wouldnt have been here.
    Do i need to repeat life's question?
    Why are we here?
    Like Shakespeare said "Life is such one big sorrow" I do believe that except for being mere "users" there must be some good in mankind.

    Henry i share your sentiments. I use hacking of phreaking in order to do good..in forensic or criminal investigations, but have privately also been the victim of "hackers" or id thiefs. It makes me want to set up a private organization, or use current govermental systems, to trace these #*_^# and hurt them. Preferably financial so that it will teach them a life lesson.
