MuggleNet gets "pwned"
MuggleNet gets At approximately 7pm on January 2nd, a team of sexually frustrated men (hackers) penetrated MuggleNet's defenses, bravely fighting off Damon's armies of killer dragons and ninjas to breach our servers. The invaders were driven off, however, and the site has been restored.

We apologize for the interruption, and will now continue with our regular business of not messing in other people's business.

Posted by randompotterfreak87 Jan 5th 2008

go mn. i thought you died. but what nowww. welcome back


Posted by HogwartsGirl1234 Jan 5th 2008

at first when i came onto the site and they had the top 10 things of the year i thought it was a joke. then i realized it was april 1st. anyway. those "sexually frustrated men" are just jealous. they probably secretly love hp. haha. glad MN is back up! =]]


Posted by darkhairhermy Jan 5th 2008

haha emerson i love you! i guess it's good that i didn't get that job of being a ninja, isn't it, since i probably wouldn't have survived this latest attack :p


Posted by Kneazle Jan 5th 2008

Stupid hackers...haha - Emerson, you brighten my day, honestly...oh, and please update the wall of shame. :D


Posted by kyleftw826 Jan 5th 2008

rlly?!?! was wondering y no news. and even though that sucks......its still pretty funny!


Posted by Sectumsempra Jan 5th 2008

yay! soo glad MN is back up!


Posted by Crzy4horses01 Jan 5th 2008

lol, i'm very glad to see that the site was able to be restored ok! Some people on the internet just have no lives, (aka extremly disturbed, mentally retarded, etc, etc, or the people who got straight T's on thier WOMBATS so they decided to hack another harry potter site like mugglenet.)


Posted by Brielle Jan 5th 2008

LMFAO. this post wins!


Posted by HannahWeasley Jan 5th 2008

"sexually frustrated". hmm...


Posted by EmeraldWolfEyes Jan 5th 2008

Haha, "pwned". That we were. What a great headline, Emerson. Nice job. Anyway, I'm so glad the site's back up. Where else would I get my Harry Potter news? :) I read somewhere that 50 other sites were hacked that night too. Anyone know if that's true? And did they catch the guys? They must have been pretty advanced to have breached the defences of a site as advanced as Mugglenet...


Posted by KatrinaJade Jan 5th 2008

Congrats and thank you for working so hard to get the site back up so quickly! You guys are amazing. My friends and I were really upset on Thursday-- what kind of a jerk would do something like that? It was probably some loser kid home on break with nothing better to do. I personally was afraid you wouldn't be back for a while... not that I should have doubted MN's power! Anyway, glad you're back! Now I have something to do on the last day of my vacation. Long live MN!!!


Posted by Jimmy_D Jan 5th 2008

Glad to see you guys recovered from that attack so quickly like with all this information I thought it would have at least taken a week but you guys really surprised me. Lol they got passed Damon's dragons and ninjas. Good job MuggleNet! Thanks to all those people that helped bring the site back up. And Boo's to those sexually frustrated men! Lol nice joke too!


Posted by honeydukes0209 Jan 5th 2008

LOL...wonderful post headline...thanks for this Emerson...I was nervous that MN would be down for a while, so thanks to everyone who got it up so quickly!! Er...sexually frustrated men? Haha...ah, home, sweet, home...


Posted by GWisthe1 Jan 5th 2008

honestly. what is the point of doing that? come on people. get lives


Posted by theprophecy007 Jan 5th 2008

I'm so happy that everything is okay now. i almost died not being able to go on mugglenet every day!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by FelixFelicis888_MN_Admin Jan 5th 2008

sexually frustrated men LOLOLOL oh man I'm cracking up!!!!


Posted by honeydukes0209 Jan 5th 2008

Thanks for all the great work Felix! :D


Posted by Grey Jan 5th 2008

Yeay Mugglenet!! You're back from you're hacker induced hiatus!


Posted by FelixFelicis888_MN_Admin Jan 5th 2008

Alas, it was no problem. well it was honey, but this only shows who the real losers of the situation are. sexually fustrated...omg i can stop laughing!!!!! :) g2g tho.


Posted by gymnast09 Jan 5th 2008

Hmm... Does anyone else wonder about these dragons and ninja's?


Posted by honeydukes0209 Jan 5th 2008

lol...hilarious...bye! ttyl


Posted by jeka110392 Jan 5th 2008

Good job on getting the site back up guys. When I went on at the time it was hacked I happened to be at an internet cafe and I thought that some dudes had just blocked it on the computer I was on or something and I had to head to another site for my news...


Posted by Korquee Jan 5th 2008

So glad you guys are back, I was freaking out for a bit there. xD Awesome work on getting the site back up so fast, don't know what I would of done without all my HP news!! >w


Posted by HPBrian Jan 5th 2008

I saw their idea of a joke and it wasn't very funny. Your response is much funnier and much more clever. I was really glad to see you back. Brian:-)


Posted by kooldude10694 Jan 5th 2008

Some people are such idiots! I was like whoa when I went on Wednesday night. Good job getting this site back up!! I'm relieved!


Posted by Grey Jan 5th 2008

Yeah, Damon's armies of dragons and ninjas are pretty much unbeatable. The only think protecting Leaky is Dawlish, and we all know how that can go:) lol


Posted by madeyematthew Jan 5th 2008

Sorry, excuse my ignorance (I've been really busy the past few days.) What exactly happened?


Posted by kooldude10694 Jan 5th 2008

Sexually frustated men, dragons and ninjas is funny. But what's really funny is 'We apologize for the interruption, and will now continue with our regular business of not messing in other people's business.' lol. On that night, I kept checking darkmark.com and leakycauldron.com to see if they were saying anything about it getting hacked. I also kept checking Yahoo and AOL for an update on this, but I saw nothing on all four sites.


Posted by Aestua_Nox Jan 5th 2008

Haha...Mugglenet was obviously not pwned, since we're up and running, right? Can't be owning if we don't stay down. Ha...sexually frustrated idiots sounds about right. Props for keeping a good sense of humor about it, and thanks for getting back up so quickly! The stupidity of the human race never ceases to amaze me....And for the record...the ninjas and dragons definitely owned in the end. Woot. ;)


Posted by Grey Jan 5th 2008


Posted by psIEnjoyAcidPops Jan 5th 2008

Emerson, you are ACTUALLY hysterical.


Posted by grintloverr Jan 5th 2008

wow some people are so stupid i say we avada kedavra them =P


Posted by cellopower Jan 5th 2008

I was very mad at the hackers when I saw the damage Wednesday night. I'm glad Emerson has a sense of humor about it :)


Posted by sweetlilthing Jan 5th 2008

i was on mugglenet at like 2 am that night and i didnt see much, just shhh in the chatrooms.


Posted by theloner Jan 5th 2008

it was g00ns.net , they have no sense.. maybe this means MN needs better hacker protection software...


Posted by strawberrieflavored Jan 5th 2008

Haha, excellent response to those lowly hackers! Great job recovering so quickly!! :D


Posted by Ranger Jan 6th 2008

Mugglenet again displays their superiority and class. Justice will be served.
