Thomas Törk

The website has been moved and rebuilt due to a ransomware attack on the (ex) hosting company INAP:

On Wednesday, September 28th [2022], between the hours of 2:11 am CDT and 5:41 am CDT, INAP was the target of a ransomware attack that affected the services we provide to you. One of our support technicians discovered the security issue at 8:00 am, CDT. INAP’s Chief Information Security Office was notified and invoked the incident response plan. The incident response team was able to determine the root cause and attack vector used, and quickly remediated the issue to prevent further damage. This was completed approximately at noon, Wednesday September 28th. Unfortunately, your services are not recoverable because of this attack.

INAP had no backups so I needed to rebuild the website somewhere else and try and recreate all the memorial comments as they lost the database. This is really shit and unprofessional from them, and I hope someone makes a class action and sues them. I will finish this as soon as I can but if you discover any problems please let me know (9/10/22).

Oops - I did lose a few comments during the database move - this kind of thing happens with Access 97 databases...
should have everything back now. Andy (22/9/06)

I've moved the site to a new server as I am moving jobs.
Any problems with it, please let me know. Andy (5/9/06)

I've added some images and stuff onto the front page as you can see. If you've got
anything you would like me to put here, please email it to me. Andy (11/9/01)

This website is now at the permanent home of https://thomastork.org.
Please bookmark that as the new address. Andy (24/4/01)
