(so, my blog got hacked. in a bad way. and i'm not sure i'm going to be able to recover everything. i think i'm still a little in denial.)

jeff assures me it's recoverable in some way or another but so far no luck.

back to ignoring the problem for now.

Thanks for reminding me to export a copy of my blog. :) Sorry yours got broken. :( -- nm - sycor Aug 22, 12:49 1
- yes! everybody to this! in possible memory of the hazel bloom! -- nm - kare Aug 22, 12:50
Do you have a web host? -- nm - David Aug 22, 12:48 5
- dreamhost. they're totally pissing me off. -- nm - kare Aug 22, 12:49 4
  - I use iPage. I dunno much about webhosts but they are pretty awesome. - sycor Aug 22, 12:56
  - How so? Be specific and some of us may be able to help. - David Aug 22, 12:51 2
    - thank you. :) they don't do backups and i'm assuming no server rollbacks but we haven't asked that question specifically. - kare Aug 22, 13:03 1
      - Glad to hear it. Google cache should have all of those files from the past two weeks. -- nm - David Aug 22, 13:32
That sucks! -- nm - amoxy Aug 22, 12:40
You know you're doing something right when you're targeted. -- nm - nubby Aug 22, 12:40
bummer - sorry that happened -- nm - Epiphany Aug 22, 12:36
sucks. :( -- nm - JaxSean Aug 22, 12:33
I'm so sorry, it had some really nice material. Did you keep any backups of your article? -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 22, 12:33 6
- the last several months, no. before that, yes, we have some back-ups. but it's somewhat outdated - kare Aug 22, 12:35 5
  - google cache and internet archive might have a recent history -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 12:46 2
    - Yes, what you should be doing right now is checking google cache for every article you can recall. -- nm - David Aug 22, 12:48
    - this was actually just occurring to me! thanks -- nm - kare Aug 22, 12:48
  - It wasn't hackery but this is why hsxworld.com ceased to exist. The webhost I was on crashed and lost data and I didn't have backups - oblique Aug 22, 12:37 1
    - :( -- nm - kare Aug 22, 12:42
ugh, that's horrible (of course, i have to run over there and see what happened.) -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 12:32 3
- the backend got hacked a couple of months ago and someone FTPed a bunch of files and they were hosting it on my domain. - kare Aug 22, 12:40 2
  - Were you using an outdated version of Wordpress perchance? This happened to me a while back on Shotalicious. -- nm - Qale Aug 22, 13:17 1
    - that is, indeed, exactly the issue. my other sites are automatically upgraded with each new wordpress release. - kare Aug 22, 13:27
