नेपाली ब्लग जगतमा पहिलो आक्रमणः युडब्लुबी ह्याक

अपडेटः युडब्लुबी आज बिहानदेखि पुनः सुचारु भएको छ। (साउन १७)
नेपालको बहुचर्चित ब्लग साइट युनाइटेड वी ब्लगलाई अज्ञात समूहले आइतबार ह्याक गरेका छन्। आज एक फोरम साइटमा युडब्लुबीको साइट नखुलेको जानकारी बिहानै पाएको थिएँ। त्यतिबेला हेर्दा साइट खुलेको थिएन। अहिले राति हेर्दा भने युडब्लुबीका संस्थापकद्वय उज्ज्वल आचार्य र दिनेश वाग्लेले एउटा सूचना राखेका रहेछन् जसमा ब्राजिलका अन रुट क्र्यु नामको एक समूहले ह्याक गरेको हुनसक्ने आशंका व्यक्त गरिएको रहेछ। उनीहरुले ह्याक हुनुअघि आफूहरुलाई कुनै चेतावनी वा पूर्वसूचना नदिइएको दावी गरेका छन्। ह्याक गरिनुको पछाडि राजनीतिक कारण भएनभएको बारेमा आफूहरुलाई थाहा नभएको उनीहरुको दावी छ। लोकतन्त्रको आन्दोलनका लागि आफ्नो पक्षबाट महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान दिइरहेको युडब्लुबीमाथिको आक्रमणको ‘मेरो संसार’ घोर निन्दा गर्छ र सर्वसाधारणलाई सत्य तथ्य सूचना दिने युडब्लुबीको प्रयासको सराहना गर्दै नेपाली ब्लग जगतमा भएको संभवतः यो पहिलो आक्रमणको विरोधमा आवाज राख्न सबै सहकर्मी ब्लगरहरुलाई पनि अनुरोध गर्दछ।

UWB Hacked. How Does It Feel?

It has been proved by now that United We Blog! was hacked. We suspect a group from Brazil who call themselves Un-root Crew hacked this site. We have been busy responding many emails and phone calls after visitors were not able to access the site from the very morning of July 31, 2005. We don’t know exactly when the site was downed.

We really don’t know, at this point, if there is any political motive behind this hack. We have been blogging on apolitical topics as well and we don’t think we have made any girls or boys disappointed through out loveblogs. We received no threats and warnings prior to the hacking.

Things are volatile in Nepal. The country has been divided, politically and ideologically: Autocracy versus Democracy. UWB by heart and by blood and by blogs falls on the second category: Our one and only mission is to see a democratic Nepal. Our declared policy is to blog for democracy and to blog against autocracy. We are against all autocracy: from God’s to the Man’s.

This is the age of information. Every one has the right to access the information. We are trying to share the information about current developments in Nepal. We will keep doing that no matter how many times we have to face such situations in future.

We always expected such things.

But one thing that we learnt today when we were panicking for our blog was not online that people cared about United We Blog!. Replying email messages and phone calls were not at all annoying rather it was something that made us feel happy during the sad hours. We are feeling proud that we gave people something.

Thank you all for you care and supportive hands … We will be back soon.
