Hey, Randomlingers...

[Crothian]

It looks like we lost everything over at the Rat Bastard boards as well. . .

Not to mention my entire Aquerra site and the IRON DM archive. . . Luckily, I was able to get the IRON DM stuff back up. . . but the rest?

Ouch, that's quite a hit....

That really sucks...
And for some odd reason I cant get in to my hotmail account either..??? Anyone else having that problem?

Hackers piss me off...

 

[Greylock]

Getting an Error 404 now. Maybe that means it's being worked on?

As far as Silver Moon's game, I'm not a player, but do you think ENWorld can handle it? Even with a new server coming, I'm not sure this board is ready for that monster... ;p

All right, folks, here's what's going on:

The good news: it doesn't look like the database was affected, so once I get the boards uploaded once again, we shouldn't find any lost data or persistent problems with the boards unless there's something I'm missing.

The bad news: I still have no idea what really happened, though it looks like somebody just went into my web-hosting account and changed the HTML of all the index pages. I've changed my password, and will likely be doing so every so often for a little while, but I'm not sure how that'll stop hackers.

The other bad news: I've had to delete everything on my site to make sure that every trace of the hacking is gone. I'll be re-uploading the boards with the newest version of PHPBB, but it may take a while, and I'm afraid that it may not even be up tonight - I have work tomorrow, and I'm really tired.

I'll have another update in an hour or two.

Thanks for the update Lucy, it's comforting to know what's going on, and especially that the data should be fine.
