Never Know What You Got Till It's Gone!

Well the Title's not entirely true. I did know what a great site this was but didn't realize how much I checked it out till it wasn't there. Thank you Sean!

Thanks for getting things back up and running Sean. If there is a way to restore any of the old db, don't hesitate to ask for help in digging through the data. I'm sure several of us could clean up a thread here and there.

Well Done.
Folks you can request copies of all your posts frcm General Keith Alexander at NSA.

Thank you very very much

You are an amazing person for providing such a great and important (to us) service! I thank you on behalf of all the Ericson owners and devotee's. I have run a website and run into these situations before myself. It can be frustrating to say the least... Chuck

Can you mail me back channel with the URL? I've been contacted by a bunch of sites who heard about it - who also have vBulletin websites - and there's chatter going on, etc.

Thanks,

Thank You!

Thanks everyone for the nice thoughts and good wishes regarding this most recent wrinkle in the life of EY.o. I appreciate your continued interest and enthusiasm for the site and concern about the recent hacking.

I've been in touch with several admins at other sites and we're comparing notes. As I learn more about this, I'll post it here.

Thanks,

Someone in Russia has been attempting to log in to various people's accounts over at the Moyer website. I'm no expert, but it suggests that maybe they are gaining access through the account of someone with poor password security. Folks, if your password is "password" or something equally lame, you might want to update it. It couldn't hurt.

Yep - Moyer's admin is one of the people I'm talking to. Apparently this Russian has been hitting lots of vBulletin sites... More later...
