The Park Grill Steakhouse introduces Suzetta “Black Bear” Parker to the Great Smoky Mountains!

As the Smoky Mountains celebrate 75 years, Geoffrey Wolpert and his Park Grill Steakhouse located next to the entrance of this great national treasure have their celebration in full swing!
Geoffrey has teamed up with Jacob Timmons of S.D. Professionals, LLC, a multimedia company located in Sevierville, TN, to add a new, fun twist to his restaurant’s image. To do that, they have introduced a new mascot, if you will, to represent the Park Grill Steakhouse. Her name is “Suzetta Parker” and she is a beautiful black bear with a heart touching story and a zany personality!
Suzetta “Black Bear” Parker was rescued as a cub in a deadly forest fire which proved tragic for the rest of her family. Now living in Los Angeles, California, she is quickly becoming famous around the world because of her zany attitude and impeccable taste for great dining! Evolution LA, Suzetta’s agent, ensures her happiness and comfort around the clock by having any production done at her home so she never has to be moved to any other location which could cause her to be stressed. To do this, they use Green Screen Technology which allows us to then take the “Green-Screened” video footage and produce just about any concept we want as Suzetta (Misty) leads the way.
“We struck gold when we found Evolution LA! Misty Black Bear (aka Suzette Parker) is a super hit with super talent. Combine her with the unsurpassed talent of Velton Ray Bunch (scoring), our RED ONE 4K production and editing crew and the majestic, lodge-like Park Grill Steakhouse, you have the perfect combination to achieve greatness”….Jacob Timmons, president S.D. Professionals, LLC.

Troj/PHPMod-A - gumblar.cn Infects the world wide web

As of May 13, 2009 a huge online threat was revealed by the staff at Sohpho. This threat is a Trojan Virus which enters a user’s PC and lies dormant for weeks collecting usernames and passwords. After some time, the Trojan Virus then comes to life and begins using that users data to login to websites administrated by the users with the infected PC. Once they gain access, they infect the users websites with a Trojan Virus and suspicious Malware Code. Normally, the first files infected are index.html, index.php, main./php, home.php and then an image.php is inserted into the image folder.
As of now, it is believed that the only way this can spread is through FTP access and although most of you do not connect to your website using FTP access, you are still highly vulnerable because upon opening an account with us or any hosting company, you receive a welcome email which contains your login and ftp information. If your local PC is infected with this Trojan, it can seek out that FTP information and use it to plant this virus on your website.
As of yesterday morning, May 15, 2009 at around 8am eastern, our servers WERE attacked. We quickly responded and as of now our clients are safe although we are not letting our guard down. Within a matter of minutes, there were as many as 10,000 FTP login attempts to our server.
What steps are we taking to ensure the integrity of your website?
To make such FTP attempts unsuccessful, we have blocked ALL FTP access for EVERYONE except for a very limited team of technical staff that are being monitored around the clock all of which have had their computers scanned for 100% safety.
We are downloading every site of every client one at the time, scanning the entire site to ensure it is clean.
Changing ALL FTP user information for ALL clients. These changes are being recorded on paper ONLY. We will NOT email this information nor will we store it locally. As a matter of fact, we are not even typing it in case we find this Trojan can read keystrokes.
If you are a client that needs FTP access, then you are asked to first scan your computer using the following free software: http://www.newslettersforwebsites.com/mailer/redir.php?id=240&st_id=325&email=sales@sdwebpros.com . Once you are performed this test, we then ask you to email the report given to you by the software proving you are not infected by this Trojan. You will also need to email your IP address.
As of today, those users which do not have a static IP address will no longer be able to enter our system via FTP. If you do not have a static IP address, contact your ISP and ask for one..most of the time this is free.
We also ask that any user that does not enter the system via FTP but DOES enter their website through a CMS (content management system / admin area) take the following steps.
Run the software mentioned above to ensure you are clean
Restart your computer
Go to your browser and remove ALL saved usernames and passwords.
Run the software again to ensure nothing pops up on restart
Restart your computer again
Go to your login areas of your website and change your username and password immediately but DO NOT SAVE IT ON YOUR COMPUTER ANYWHERE….PLEASE WRITE IT DOWN or store it on a thumb drive that you then disconnect from your computer.
If we have found infections within your website you will receive a separate email stating this. If you do not receive a secondary email, it is not because it didn’t come through, it is because you are NOT infected.
You can go to this website: http://www.newslettersforwebsites.com/mailer/redir.php?id=241&st_id=325&email=sales@sdwebpros.com and enter the pages of your website and it will run a script and tell you if your website is clean, infected or contains suspicious code.
As of this morning, we have ran all websites through this and have cleaned any that had suspicious code within them..those sites administrators have already been contacted.
If you scan a page on your website with this link and you are given anything other than clean, we ask that you write an email which includes all EXACT urls in ONE email. We can NOT accept one email for every page.
Upon receiving that email, we will clean your site and upon confirming you have taken the proper steps mentioned above, we will replace any infected files….
**Please read this article so that you can better understand the severity of this infection: http://www.newslettersforwebsites.com/mailer/redir.php?id=242&st_id=325&email=sales@sdwebpros.com
*If we did not build your website and your site is infected have 3 hours from the time you receive this email to download any infected website you have and clean it or we will shut your site down and DELETE IT!

For webmasters here are the pieces of information we have about the hacker so far:
