Please don't speculate. We don't know who did it, and without evidence, finger pointing at anyone or other sites does not help the situation.I'm betting it was partisans for certain other sites.
I was expecting FA data base have a back up similar to RAID 1, aka real time back up. Even if the site is not backed up in real time, 6 days/weekly seemed a bit too long for a website, especially the ones like FA which had been attacked quite often due to it's contents. A daily, bi-daily, or tri-daily back up would sound more reasonable.
Some people just do this for fun or as a challenge.
Some people want to sell the data, others hate the content so much that they simply want to destroy it.
Some people want to find users to take a ransom from.
The reason of the content deletion is probably just that the attacker(s) wanted to remove as much evidence as possible.
Deleting everything makes finding out what actually happend much harder.
did someone say....taco's?Great! Now I have to browse these forums instead of browsing for pictures containing large electric tacos.![]()
So is a possibility we don't have to wait for our site for days?Our priority is fixing the issues and restoring the content. We want to get the site back online ASAP, but we need to do it right. I don't have an ETA.
Not just any tacos...did someone say....taco's?![]()
Not just any tacos...
ELECTRIC TACOS!![]()
Yikes! This really sucks. But guys, you can't predict every little thing that's gonna happen. There's no way anyone could've predicted this.
I'll never understand why people do this sort of thing. You gain nothing.
Sometimes they do it just because they have nothing better to do with their lives.I don;t get it...whats the motivation? Its clearly not cash otherwise they would have demanded a ransom or something. Why would they devite time to fucking with your website? Its stupid AND cruel to the users.
like how dillon the hacker constantly claims to hack youtubers when he is clearly a moron who is desperately in need of a taste of chaos magic?Sometimes they do it just because they have nothing better to do with their lives.
More or less, yeah.like how dillon the hacker constantly claims to hack youtubers when he is clearly a moron who is desperately in need of a taste of chaos magic?
indeed...hackers...can't live with them...can;t banish them to the sock puppet dimensionOh lord.
*raises lion paw*Now, be honest. Raise your hand...
How many of you created FA Forums accounts just because of this.

But I don't like the outernet ;-;Great, now I'll have to go outside to entertain myself! All this fresh air and sunshine makes my body feel weird!
