banking information. Donley gave the banking information to Steven MacTavish. Tom Thompson, webmaster, provided login information. Armed with these two vital pieces, Steven MacTavish bypassed the security checks required by Liquidweb.

· On February 4, 2006 at 11:45 PM, Mary Thompson notified Liquidweb of unauthorized changes to the DHA account. (atch 12)

· On February 7, 2006, after investigation by Liquidweb Security/Abuse Team, DHA was verified as the proper owner of the website and control/ownership was restored to DHA.

· Email from Liquidweb on March 23, 2006 9:36 AM re: Logs for account 19963. This email was in response to our request for documentation of events surrounding the theft of and subsequent return of our website. (atch 13)

 

On March 7, 2006, DHA lost access to the webpage again. We didn't know this until we received an email from Barbara Moore, a DHA director. She had tried to access the website and was redirected to a website put up by Steven MacTavish called Clan MacTavish USA, which was a site devoted to attacking DHA. DHA treasurer, Mary Thompson, contacted Network Solutions (a web hosting and domain names company) to determine why attempts to go to our website were being diverted elsewhere. Network Solutions told her that the primary account holder had been changed to Steven MacTavish of Oakville, Ontario. In that capacity, he changed the domain servers to point to a different internet site (his). Apparently, he misrepresented himself to Network Solutions as Dugald MacTavish of Sebring, FL (his father). Dugald was on the account as the DHA representative and DHA had pre-paid for the domain name for 7 years. Dugald had moved to Vancouver, BC in October 2004 and had died the following June but had not been removed from the account. Under Network Solutions security system, you had to BE the primary account holder and know billing address in order to make changes to the account without going through extensive paperwork proving ownership. All of this information was available from Dugald's personal effects, which were given to Steven MacTavish as heir.

 

· After extensive telephone/mail/email correspondence, DHA was able to prove rightful ownership of the domain name by filing the extensive paperwork and the servers were realigned to our site. Email dated March 17, 2006 11:44 PM (atch 14)

 

Donley Tomey's last deposit to the DHA bank account was on January 28, 2006. After that date, he failed to deposit membership dues and donations he had received in his capacity as DHA membership secretary. Email dated February 8, 2006 2:34 PM, email dated February 9, 2006 10:42 PM and email dated February 10, 2006 10:33 AM (atch 15) were all sent to Donley Tomey in an effort to get a membership database, verify bank records and, finally, request the diverted membership dues returned. His retention of members' checks was in direct violation of a long-standing procedure of making deposits approximately every two weeks and advising the DHA treasurer of those deposits. I, Tom Thompson, President of DHA started calling members due to renew in February about the 14th of
