Hacked!
The Polish Crazy About Elvis and Elvis Promised Land fanclub websites have been hacked.
On August 7th the Facebook and Messanger accounts of Elvis author and Elvis Day By Day contributor Mariusz Ogieglo were attacked by hackers and deleted. As a result, the author lost access to all related pages, including Elvis: Promised Land, Elvis Wszystkie Plyty Krola and Crazy About Elvis
The author is now trying to recover the lost pages and asks everyone for understanding. The author wants to emphasise that he didn't remove anyone from his contacts or limited anyone's access to the websites. All such occurrences were caused by the hacker attack on his account.
At this moment the only way to contact the author is via email: elvis.blog@interia.pl
The Elvis Promised Land blog is still active.
