Club Cruceros de La Paz Hacked

Don’t panic! La Paz’s venerable cruising club Club Cruceros has not shut down, but their website has . . . at least temporarily. "Their site was hacked," reports Michael Robertson of the Washington D.C.-based Fuji 40 Del Viento. "Nobody seems to have any control over it. A treasure trove of info is, for now, not accessible."

Why anyone would want to hack the Club Cruceros site is baffling. The club has a history of not only helping fellow cruisers, but also giving back to the local community in a big way. What is there to gain from hacking such a site, other than proving you’re a perverted asshat? Here’s hoping the dust settles and this very informative site — which is normally found at www.clubcruceros.org — is back up soon, stronger than ever.

UPDATE: Patsy Verhoeven of the Gulfstar 50 Talion sent us the following update on the situation. "Not to fear! The site has temporarily relocated to www.clubcruceros.net. The site is also in the midst of a complete overhaul with a totally new look. All the same excellent information, just better organized and more user-friendly . . . “stronger than ever!"
