Craig,

Thanks for coming back up on line! I didn't get the memo on the outage, but I did see that your server got hit by (@#$@!$$#) hackers. Sorry to see that, and mean people suck.

Not that there's a lot of private data on us on the server, should we be concerned they got anything sensitive?

Sorry to be such a worry wort...

[RoninX]

Seconded!

Thirded?!?!?

Hey - you should always keep in mind what is stored online and how.

The server was hacked into and used to run multiple DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks which then brought everything down and corrupted data on the server itself.

Fencing.Net was not hacked into, but we were on a shared server and one of the other accounts got the hit.

All of the data was stored on the SQL server and not the web server, but they share a switch, so I'm not sure what happened there.

It looks like the web server was taken over solely to run the DDoS attacks, but we don't know for certain.
