SOFT was hacked (22sep2004)

[soft]

Dear all,

SOFT was down for the past 3 days . Someone hacked into the software and deleted a big chunk of our content. I had no choice but to shutdown and find a solution for it.

A big thanks to users/friends/well-wishers who wrote in and give their support. Especially to the hosting company because they worked very hard to bring up the site again.

The last backup I had was 2 days before the hack so those post are lost. I encourge you to re-post those information again.

There's no way I can stop these hackers but I know they wont be able to stop me too.

Ok, I have to get some sleep now.

James

mulyadi -

i do backup the database (usually everyday) but the 2 days before the site was hacked, I was rushing to finish a job so just skipped it. these hackers got their own community also, once they know of how to hack into a certain system, they will spread the news and everyone goes on a hunting trip.

blackmore -

thanks for your support. it was just alot of time spent cause the database was huge! could not upload it automatically cause the system will time out. so i had to split them into smaller chunk and upload. went on to install the newer version of everything too.

Lifehouse -

your post is the best :lol: i have just upgrade the server to a 1 Gig space. We will try to raise funds through things like "SOFT T-shirt" and "SOFT Compilation CD". Hope you guys will support these projects.

Good job man. To the hackers: Do you guys have a life? Try hacking something more challenging? SAF's computer system? FBI? Hack this for what? You guys have no life. : )

This is the second time SOFT was hacked! Did you manage to trace the IP address of the hacker?
