Welcome back DarkMatters & SacredWiki!

[Timotheus 416]

Let me be the first to welcome the FDM back up and running.

So, we got hacked?

 

 

 

Ohyeah happy Pirate Day me mateys ARRrr!

[Schot 407]

Whew! Thaaaaaank god this is done. What a wild and crazy ride this has been. We're all now a part of hacking History. ^^ Our server was hit with a Zero Day attack which is quite unique as I've read. For those curious you can read about the horror below. Given the level of destruction that was laid on our Host providers they did an excellent job. I'm sure they are much overdue of a good nights rest.

Welcome back Darkmatters

 

Just had a quick read Schot and that sounds really nasty. Thankfully nothing was lost?

 

You deserve a nice cold beer

[Katran 0]

Thank god for back ups!

Welcome back FDM!

 

By the way how often do they back up the site? It looks like once a week or something. Time to go make the missing posts and topics again.

[podgie_bear 184]

Yeah, we're back

 

Now where is that hacker again? I've got a little present for him. I'll even drop it in his shorts for him!

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee haw!

 

holee molee that was a looooooong time without the spam

 

I mean the site

 

I mean... loving all you guys!

 

I was jonesing, and must have watched an egg carton full of movies... I'm gonna need my eyeballs to settle back to normal.

 

Thanks you guys for holding out, and thank you for not deserting!

We DO love backups. ^^ Sadly though the backup they used from the 12th or 13th so there is some data loss on our end. They opted to go that far back even though they had more recent backups to reduce the chance of possible backdoors left inside of a recent backup... On top of that it turns out that the backups I have are of the 13th so using them in this case won't help. I thought I had more recent than that but I guess I dreamed up that last backup I did, lol. I think for the most part what was lost is the several quests that were done on the wiki. I know that some effort was being put into the Quest section of the wiki and I'm VERY sorry for that loss guys. I know how tough quests can be to write.

 

On the whole and given the situation I think things worked out very well. But next time I can assure you that it will work out much much better. We're going to see about automating daily database backups on our end that will be sent to two different email accounts for storage and I'll download a full backup probably once a week or whenever some major change is made.

 

It's good to be back.

[gogoblender 3,068]

Wolfie and others can you please check yer wiki edits? We're looking at a reroll a few days back now... is your work secure everyone?

Thanks Arperum for the patience...did you bring beer?

Great to see us back in business

[Dobri 55]

I'm also relieved to see FDM back online and kicking. Quite a few posts are gone, along with the new HE build I wrote, but that's a small price to pay to have our community back online.

 

I'm relieved and glad everything is ok

[gogoblender 3,068]

Locolagarto!

 

Found yer way back... huzzah!

 

 

gogo

 

 

p.s. don't have any leftover tamales do you ... starved here!

[daemonrocks23 17]

Ah,Dobri No!

 

dobri, wait...someone said that there are page of wiki and darkmatters in cache on net. Would you be able to find your build that way by looking up the title and then seeing if it is there?

 

I really hope it's possible

[Etherian 76]

Withdraw for that amount of time was insane!

 

I knew something was going down when I couldnt link from the auto-email system.

 

Glad everyone is Alive & Healthy!

 

Gratz on the temporary page put online refering to Sacred 3! Although small in nature, the page gave us many links to follow, informed the community of our devastating attack.

 

Also, we are online now exactly [1] day faster then originally thought! One cannot go wrong with under promising & over delivering!

 

FDM & [D.a.r.k] FOREVER!

 

I remain, [D.a.r.k]

Getting a site hacked just plain sucks. Had it happen a few times where I work.. Sql injection for the fail.

 

 

Glad to see everything is back up and running!

[Ryanrocker 200]

Ah, nice to see you guys got it sorted out I was really scared when I tried to go onto darkmatters and kept getting redirected to Sacred3.org

[ololcat 3]

Wow, it's nice to see FDM and sacredwiki back online

[Genenut 8]

I'm here too. Fortunately I have offline communications with Daemonrocks23 so I knew what was up ... but it was still a long time with out FDM :-( Glad to see we made it mostly unscathed unlike some on the server.

[Spunky 16]

Finally, up and running again!

Doesn't seem to be there. I did get a search line while checking out google, though... Just can't find a link to it:

http://www.google.bg/search?client=firefox...%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5

 

In any case, I may write it again some day. It's only a few hours wasted, one wastes time anywhere, anytime, anyhow, so it's not that big of a deal.

[Barristan 14]

Heyas!

 

Bah! Whackers.... eh, Wankers....OOh... I mean Hackers! Bad thing, doing that just for the fun of it

 

Anyways, I be here, alive and kicking

Thanks for getting us back up and running.

[Furian67 14]

I totally hear you kriv. I get my Internet back on Wednesday. So FDM back online is a godsend. Crazy realization of how often I check the forum on a daily basis.

 

Hey hey thanks for reminding me gogo of them tamales. Got to see loco and family yesterday.... Where's my tamales? Hope Mrs. Loco feels better soon.
