I was just looking on the Tito the Bouncing Alien page and decided to click on the website http://www.dimsdale-*******.com/ and it leads to a porn site. Can you please have it deleted so younger people wont do the same?

Cheers!

I've emailed Ross and informed him of this, thanks for the heads up - nobody likes to see a fellow indi developer get done over like this. I'm sure he'll get it fixed quick-smart.

@Darth Vader: Ross is the user who's website has been hacked (or whatever) and now links to the porn site.

I've just banned "Louis Dimsdale the 3rd". I'm afraid his account may have also been hacked. In addition to his website now linking to a porn site, his biog/interest for his user account here was: young asian girls

Yeah, Ross is Dimsdale and co, he's a mate - busy with things keeping him away from his puter.

I'll let him know about his account Ron, good catch - could have went a lot worse if that's the sort of person who's hacked him.

Anecdotally, the other half of that little indie twosome came into my uni a few months back to give a demonstration on Concept Design. I was amazed to see it was the artist behind Tito. Was a cool guy.

Any suggestions for the best way to deal with this would be appreciated, Ross isn't sure what to do next, and damned if I know!.

He needs to contact whoever hosts his website and get things cleaned out and reset. More importantly, since his account here was apparantly hacked too, he needs to be careful about any logins that he has to any financial institutions, credit cards, utility bills or really anything else that he logs into on the internet. I'd be willing to bet that he has some kind of trojan/keylogger installed on his computer. That should also be looked at right away.

Looks like the domain has expired and someone else registered it.



Not much you can do I guess, other than offer the new owner large sums of money to get it back.

By way of demonstration, he emitted a batlike squeak that was indeed bothersome.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for pointing this out to me.
I'm quite embarrass about the whole thing.
Looks like I missed a e-mail about renewing the web site,
(It's was linked to an old account that was full of spam)
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to fix this.

So I have started a new site at:-
http://dimsdale-kreozot.blogspot.com/

If people could let me know if there are any other links to our old site on the TGC, I'll update that too.

Cheers,
Ross
