Timotheus 416 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Let me be the first to welcome the FDM back up and running. So, we got hacked? Ohyeah happy Pirate Day me mateys ARRrr! Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 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. Echo Server Repair Link to comment
Dobster 39 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Welcome back Darkmatters Just had a quick read Schot and that sounds really nasty. Thankfully nothing was lost? You deserve a nice cold beer Link to comment
Katran 0 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 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. Link to comment
podgie_bear 184 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 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! Link to comment
gogoblender 3,068 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 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! gogo Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 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. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,068 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 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? gogo Link to comment

Dobri 55 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 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 Link to comment

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 gogo Link to comment
Etherian 76 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 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] Link to comment
MageMaster 8 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 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! Link to comment
Ryanrocker 200 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 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 Link to comment
ololcat 3 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Wow, it's nice to see FDM and sacredwiki back online Link to comment
Genenut 8 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 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. Link to comment
Spunky 16 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Finally, up and running again! Link to comment

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. Link to comment
