If you have logged into World Hip Hop Market in the last few weeks you might have encountered some strange graffiti, and not the hip hop type. My site seems to be the dumping grounds for a bevy of hackers – many from Turkey for some reason – including ChiLekeSH, DarKhack3R, The.Bilen, KanunSuZ, and Lord Voldemort (no relation to Harry Potter). One of them even tagged “Turkish Hip Hop Rules!” Despite my own feeble efforts to clean up their mess, their flurry of hidden text, tags and Trojans culminated a few days ago with the deletion of my entire product database and hijacking my images folder for malevolent purposes. Google has temporarily delisted my blog and my ISP has frozen my images folder.

So, until further notice, the “Where in the World is Hip Hop?” blog will be the default for the site (since that was mostly untouched). I am taking this as an opportunity to rebuild World Hip Hop Market (and secure it better) so a new design is forthcoming. To all the artists who I am selling your products, I apologize for the hiccup in listings and I will work to get your products back online as soon as I can. I am also looking for someone who can help me design and implement the site, so give me a holler if you know anyone that can help (experience with osCommerce and Wordpress would be wonderful).

I’ll be updating the blog as I can (look for more frequent updates in August). I promise the site will be back bigger and better than ever.

Peace.
