For a quick breakdown of what we know so far go here....
Breakdown
It starts out....
It all began when Steve of ARGN received a FedEx package containing some honey. Rearranging the letters contained inside the bottle brought us to
ilovebees.com (
www.ilovebees.com...), a site for Margaret Efendi's honey-selling business. Problem was, the site was having some Issues.
Something calling itself SPDR -- System Peril Distributed Reflex -- had apparently taken it over. Images files were showing up as corrupted, some sort
of computer code appeared here and there, and more text prefaced with MAYDAY appeared as well!
At the bottom of the main page, we found a link to a FAQ to find out what was going on with the ilovebees.com site. This led us to the [1]
(
ilovebees.blogspot.com...) blog of Dana Awbrey, Margaret's niece. She's the technical one in the family, so she's been the site support for
her Aunt for many years. Even still, Dana was as confused about what was going on as everyone else. Not to mention she was concerned that, with the
site problems, she wasn't going to be able to leave for her trip to China like originally planned!
So back to the problems... rather freaky. On the main page, SPDR had an ominous countdown going. By July 27 it said that "network throttling would
erode", and by August 24, it said "this medium will metastasize." Ouch! That doesn't sound too good. Needless to say, Aunt M got the "heebie
jeebies" when informed about all that was going on. The feelings are mutual.
