    Warning FB- hacked Hancock of Paducah site

    Today the Hancock of Paducah site has been posting a lot of very undersirable posts. Please do not click on any that you may see. It is obvious that they have been hacked and I sure hope they can fix it.

    Their facebook page. The website appears ok. Use your better judgement.

    I think they got a new Facebook page up and running. They are having a great sale on batiks. The hackers changed the administration password on their Facebook page and if you have ever tried to contact Facebook or Google, you know how impossible it is to get any help from them.

    Don't know about FB, but I have had occasion to call Google a couple of times, got through right away and they were very helpful!

    that was crazy - what kind of sicko would want to hack a fabric site! Reminds me of the time my 80 year old grandmother was busy fixing dinner and the phone rang. She ran to the living room to answer it and in her thick Scottish accent kept saying 'excuse me what? excuse me what?' Then she held the phone up in the air and yelled "IT'S ONE OF THOE CALLS! A DIRTY CALL!' . We all laughed so hard we cried. How desperate is a person to call an old woman at 4 in the afternoon!!!!

    I got a message from them Wednesday they had to get a new page then yesterday I had another message that it was fixed and they had their old one back. Whoever did this was holding their password and sight hostage putting anything they wanted on it. Thank goodness they got it fixed. I sure hope they find out who did this to them.
