For some in the porn industry, Luke Ford and his Web sites were merely an annoyance. For others, including porn stars whose real identity he revealed or whose positive HIV status he disclosed, he was the scourge of the industry. \n Someone decided to fight back and Ford has been hacked. His two sites, Lukeford.com and 4porn.net, are down and the company that hosted the sites has lost about $40,000 in revenues from damage done to its server. \n Ironically, Ford doesn't suspect this was a case of revenge by someone in the porn industry. Instead, he thinks it is related to an interview he posted in early December in which the subject discussed important Hollywood executives and their sexual proclivities. He thinks the hacker was dispatched by the mainstream entertainment industry. \n The script used by the hacker to take down Ford's sites also affected the other sites hosted by Voice Media, including five pay sites. \n If the porn industry is rejoicing over Ford's misfortunes, it is not doing so to his face. Ford reportedly has received many inquiries as to when his sites will return. Soon, he replies. Meanwhile, he intends to hunt down the hacker. \n Ford isn't the first to have a site threatened or attacked by an apparent critic seeking to silence the message. Salon, an online magazine, received hacking threats after it revealed that Rep. Henry Hyde, head of the House Judiciary committee that recommended impeachment of President Clinton, had an affair with a married woman. And a hacker vandalized the site of The New York Times after the paper posted stories about using the Internet for crime.
