It seems according to a member of the BrianHornback.Com team that a throw away newspaper picture taker is trying to use his Facebook page to scare away advertisers and readers. First of all I read lots of advice from people that are more knowledgeable of websites than a 30 plus year old guy that still lives at home with mommy and daddy. Randy Neal over at KnoxViews is one such guy. Here is his take from April 11, 2014 at 10:43 a.m. on the issue that the picture taker wants to scare you away from my website. The one comment on Randy’s post (today 4-19-2014 at 10:20 a.m.) is the picture taker’s on comment. It is filled with his own look at me, I predicted this, the world is ending.
I have talked with the two co-owners of our server, it is a minimal threat, it is being addressed. But, while I am wasting the day before Easter dealing with BrianHornback.Com hater and stalker. Let me share with you a snapshots of text messages by the throw away newspaper picture taker on April 11, 2014 and I am including the ENTIRE conversation so that you can see that I was interested in what he was warning and I thanked him I also thanked him for contacting me.
The first text message, as you can see I first made contact to determine what he was talking about
Part 2 of the text message from April 11, 2014. Again, I was professional and respectful to the sky is falling.
Now the emails. first correspondence from him. He clearly wants us down. It may be because his own Publishers candidates are currently trailing and some of the news posted here have been facts that do not make their candidates look good. I will not predict or say that authoritatively, as I lack all the facts at this time for his stalking my website and attempting to drive advertisers and readers away.
Part 1 of his email to me, I did not respond
Part 2 of his email to me, I did not respond
A correspondence will be sent to all advertisers, former advertisers and potential advertisers about these antics. In a related note, I have received information that at least three advertisers have been told and scolded by the throw away newspapers picture taker’s boss of his displeasure with them advertising on this website. Again, I am assembling all facts on that matter as well.
Dan is doing what his sugar daddy Hunley tells him to do. Kinda sad the way that Dan was only getting paid $10 a picture until a legitimate photog in town, told him he was being used.
I wouldn’t stress about DA aka dumbass, he surfs porn and tweets his love to the porn girls then he goes over to Christ Connection and brags about the Father’s Day gift the pastor gave him and he isn’t even a father.
He would take what Grider and rice tell him and go downstairs and act all buddy buddy with a certain public official all the time stabbing him in the back.
This is the same guy that walks around with background checks on people who do campaign management and tries to scare candidates away from the ones he and sugar daddy Hinley want to have for their phone poll boi toy.
Grider must be proud that DA has kept his Oak Ridge family secret quiet, just wait, when DA. Turns on ya, it will be public or it may be now.
There’s a big difference between a code vulnerability and a virus. Apparently he doesn’t know enough to know that. He’s just stirring up trouble.
Yahoo and the Obamacare website also had this flaw. Is he advising people to stay away from them too? AP
I hope you’re contacting his employer.
I wouldn’t want to mess with his livelihood although he apparently wants to shame my advertisers over something he doesn’t have the education, experience or expertise to address. He is a sad person.
DA is paranoid that people will find out his real story, food city frozen department, how he has climbed socially and his relationship with Grider and how he carries out giving information to the 6th floor. How he tells everyone that the property assessor is wearing a wire and no one should speak to him.
I have had him to come to me with the background information that he has gotten off the internet and he talks about court documents from back 25 or so years ago, he was in New York then and although he was an adult when his parents retired, he moved with them.
When will all the elected officials learn that he acts like he is their buddy to their face and then talks behind their backs. Like the things he keeps telling about Burchett’s current love interest and the real story about her.
Someone needs to take a photo of him and show him what a real dumb ass looks like on film. A picture is worth a thousand words so I’ve been told. I use that paper for one reason, it burns well when I burn my weekly trash. The words easily ignite trash and the contents within. That idiot walks around like he owns the courthouse but little does he know he resembles Barney Fife. I am surprised that little moron doesn’t yell citizens arrest.
Hunley is just pissed that intelligent candidates just shy away from the strings you have to hold when selling yourself to a fool. Steve Hunkey read these words carefully. Trash is where you came from, trash is what you endorse for candidates and trash is all you will ever amount to. Quit trying to be the fat kid on the playground eventually you find out you will never control Knoxville with or without that damn paper you call the Focus.
What you need to do is petal your ads and leave technology and the intelligent candidates alone. You have finally been kicked out of politics and when Ballard, McCroskey and Leithold are out of office you have lost your claim to fame. Why don’t you ask Craig about his role in he Lowe administration? A subpoena will make him sing like a song bird and cry in his bucket. But that’s yet to come so just keep running that mouth. The next time I see that little pecker of a photographer I will give him something to take a picture of. The entire trash you support I will send you an email telling you where I will be right at the coder of Gay Street and Main. I will allow you 30 minutes to draw up a crowd to allow that idiot to take a picture of you kissing my wrinkled old ass. Pencil the date of May 7th at high noon.
I would not normally jump in on such a topic or even make a comment, but as it stands my ability to perform my duties have been called into question in relation to this whole heartbleed vulnerability.
For those of you who have made comments that may not appear, let me educate you on what exactly the “bug” was. The Heartbleed Bug (It is not a virus) was a code deficiency in certain versions of OpenSSL. Our servers house multiple sites across various states and it took several days to get everything updated.
What this vulnerability could allow to happen is the capture of random data packets being transferred to and from the website(At worst, someone could have discovered Brian’s password to login to his website). It also only really matters if the content is under a SSL, things that are secure, such as websites that process payments or hold large amounts of personal information in databases. Even then the risk is minimal as this has been around for two years and recently became mainstream.
This particular website stores no payment information, no registration data, no personal information of any kind. Thus there was never any threat caused by heartbleed to any visitor of this website, it is not something that infects your computer, it is not a virus.
I appreciate all of your concern and we have worked to resolve this issue across all of our platforms.
