If I can ever get my hands on one of those hacker kiddies... :evil:
Liftlines was hacked again last evening, and the database of messages wiped out as a result. We worked throughout the night to implement code changes to patch the security hole, and this morning the database was restored from a backup created at 4am EST on March 22.
What does this mean for you?
In reality, we're pleased that we were able to patch the security hole that quickly, and that we only lost one day of messages. Longtime users of Liftlines, from back in the pre-phpBB days, know that this is a significant improvement over past events.
We regret any inconvenience that this may have caused. Trust me, we regret the inconvenience this put us through, too!
Welcome back -- start posting! :wink:
