HPS Website

The new HPS website will be uploaded and operating shortly. It was discovered someone was hacking into the current website and changing performance numbers, dates, and etc. By making little changes, it was overlooked by the human eye on a daily basis.

This is truly an unfortunate act someone would go to extreme measures to sabotage a company's identity. Earth link and HPS are working together to find out who committed these crimes. When we find out the parties responsible those individuals will be prosecuted to the fullest extent!

I’ve attached a link to the US Federal Anti-Hacking Laws in order to educate those. http://www.rent-a-hacker.com/hacklaw.htm

I’m not trying to threaten anyone but making it clear of this issue.

HPS Internet files were saved, copied, and printed when the new HPS website was uploaded and operational 8 months ago. As time went on performance numbers, dates, and more were being changed little by little. I immediately changed the user name and password and took solo control of the account. However, errors still occurred. For example the press release date of May 8, 2004 for HPS open house at Mech-Tech Motorsports was changed to May 8, 2003. Another example was to the new intake supercharger system press release, one paragraph was repeated 3 times. I have printed proof of correct information uploaded to the server. And I can go on and on and on.

Earthlink officials are investigating this federal offense and will forward it to the proper authorities. Which we will press full chargers!

I will keep you posted.
