Swiftboats website donation page hacked/problem ?

Posted on 08/24/2004 7:55:42 AM PDT by Munch

Forgive me for not being technical

I tried to donate from a link provided on a FR thread and got an error after I provided all my info.

https://www.swiftvets.com/swift/ccdonation.php?op=donate&site=SwiftVets

Then I found another link at FR --- the one we all see with the big boat icon. That link is here.

https://swift1.he.net/~swiftvet/swift/ccdonation.php?op=donate&site=SwiftVets

Are both sites legitimate? Am I being paranoid? Any techs

I've donated a couple of times to the first one with no problems.

Not sure but I did notice that the presidents dog made a little donation to Moveon.org during the press conference yesterday.

swiftvets.com resolves to 64.62.151.115

swift1.he.net resolves to 64.62.151.114

I would assume they are both legit.

Just be very careful. Verify. There are so many "fake" front pages on the net.

Your dynamic link is old.

Try it from the opening page and click on "keep this ad on the air."

I went to this website and got an error. So I don't know what's going on there. I donated yesterday and I didn't have any problems.

Wouldn't surprise me if their site was being "attacked" by the libs!

Another thought.

Now that the SwiftVets have pulled in so many donations, I don't doubt that there will be some crooks wanting to take advantage of people's generosity.

I saw that too and noticed how the camera did a quick close up on the pres. Barney and I have the same opinion of the LSM.

I thought that was such a hoot!

It just goes to show you how much Barney loves his Master. He gave the press a message that President Bush never could.

The only thing better would have been if Barney lifted his leg on Helen Thomas.

Just donated in the last 10 minutes--the site was very slow. Maybe that means more people are contributing! I used the link from the boat icon on FR.

I've not been able to get into the site this morning. Keep getting error message: php:BB unable to connect to the data base. Sent an email to admin asking if site was hacked. No answer yet.

If you check out the video, it's being served from swift1.he.net... it's legit.

LOL--you could be right. I was thinking the dog was expressing his 1st Amendment rights and letting the world know what he thinks of cheesy reporters!

The first time I donated I was using my American Express. It kicked that back a few times before I gave up and used VISA.
