To All DeTomaso email subscribers,
       The POCA website has undergone a major hacking that started in January. We were unaware of the severity until Google issued a  block and  posted a list of reasons it was blocked. I immediately shut the site down when I was informed by a concerned POCA member as to the Google posting. I shut the site down and called the host server  and updated our SSL certificate and reviewed what Google had posted. The realization that it was really bad is an understatement. 
       I called the two POCA members Asa Jay Laughten and Mark McWhinney  that had managed the site in the past and updated them on the severity of the hack. These two guys jumped in and started working as team to try and save as much information as possible from the website. I can't begin to tell you how awesome these guys were at bantering ideas back and forth to come up with solutions. The end result is the pictures and much data have been rescued. The email server has been restored  and updated to a much newer version....( You are receiving this thanks to 3 days of endless keyboarding)...and the basic web page has been updated to the newest version that will do much more than in the past when things get installed and initiated. These  two guys gave up their long weekend to preserve the site and I know we're mentally exhausted last night when they stopped.
     I hope that everyone floods their email with thanks for what they gave up to save the POCA information and get the servers up and running with new and improved everything.
   Cudos to you guys.......
Gerry in Illinois
