Am a standard example of an urban middle class family. I have 2 degrees one Btech and obviously a MBA. I join a MNC with the aim of doing great but somewhere down the line I don’t like it. So one fine day I get up and say I will start my own business and that too an online one. Fair enough!
So I start with the usual stuff designing my website, getting a coder on board and doing whatever marketing I can with my limited budget. After a year or so am doing decent enough and people want to join me as employees. Since am doing everything on my own am not that smart as I miss out things like signing a contract as I feel that an email is a legit enough document. Right? WRONG.
To make things bad I meet a writer who tells me that she would like to work for me and when I have paid her dues, she tells me that not only have I NOT paid her dues but I should pay an exorbitant amount for the work she has done for me .
Well things are not bad yet, a hacker comes on board, send a nasty email specifying what he is doing and how he will delete all my data and crash my website. Can you believe it, someone I don’t know have no clue is threatening to destroy my website? So yes he has hacked my website and has threatened to put the code online. To think of all the hard work my team has put in.
I want to tell this HACKER something he should know before doing the same to anyone else ever:
- Am not giving up on my baby. You steal, destroy, the idea is mine no one can take it from me.
- I will fall again and again,I will start from scratch, BUT I WILL NOT EVER EVER GIVE UP.
- You can’t violate me or anything that’s mine!
- You think you are smart enough but I think you have nothing in your life to do
- You just wait and watch and how we make things bigger and better.
So this post is an earnest request to everyone in the community to let me know how a legal action against such a person and secondly the most important one what are the safety measures one should take for protecting your website. I wanted to share what I have gone through so that no one else would have to go through it.
