Tears of Opa Opa just found this: If you click on the hint sheets section of the main site it borks you and gives a pop up saying "You Have Ben Hacked By H@b0ubaM!x"
It might be the same guy who hacked sega16?
Balls.

Yeah, I was scanning a few new sheets this morning and went there to check on something and saw it. I noticed a lot of the pictures on the main page were down yesterday and maybe the day before.

Man that's a seriously pathetic thing to do, attacking one of the most harmless and friendly websites on the internet. What the hell is the point, it impresses nobody, and if the guy has any 'skillz' why not do something constructive with them. Hopefully everything is backed up. I just logged into the site, and clicked to edit the page that has been hacked, and it set off my antivirus straight away with several attacks  |

We really need a webmaster. I can think of a few members who have the skills but they are all too busy to do it. If Andy's not available maybe we can borrow somebody from sega16 for this mini crisis. |

Looks like he hacked the main page too because all the images are screwed. Damn it.

Sigh, this is horrible. I went into FTP. Looks like he may have actually got into there and DELETED all of our images. This means EVERY single image attached to EVERY page is now likely gone. I think Andy saved the site once a week or so so I hope to god he did. Otherwise, I can't imagine the amount of work to get that stuff back. This explains why the forum image is still functional, it's in its own special folder. I don't know why people bother doing this kind of thing, and I suspect it's the bottom hole who had the whole SOR problem.

I genuinely think that people who do this sort of thing should be found and killed. No second chances, no apologies wanted, just end... their.... life. It's seriously pathetic.

Here it also says: Sega8bit.com Forum « You Have Ben Hacked By H@b0ubaM!x » |

The host should hopefully have a backup of the data as noted in a previous post. That would be horrible if all those images were gone.....

I've come to this site for years before I really started posting and it was always cool to look through the rare items and stuff. Seriously, it would really suck if all that stuff is gone and I'm guessing a lot of the original owners of some of those pics don't sign on anymore. Is there any news about this situation? |

I made most of the pictures, all of the pictures for the games database almost, etc. They're all gone, I had no reason to keep them.

Damn. Buggering shitballs. Why do people do this?
Ok, so I had a recent backup of the DB and have hopefully made it secure. Not sure what to do about the images though. Will have to get in touch with the host and pray.
