That is, I'm glad the site is back up!

I'm just a lurker around here, but I thought I'd drop in and say I'm the
Outdoor Frontiers site is up and running again. Hope the FBI or whoever
tracks such criminals catches those hackers! Good luck! I enjoy the
conversations in this group--I'm getting back into fishing after several
years away...

Well, normally I'm a fairly easy going guy, but this has me absolutely
wild! It's happened twice before, and now it's happened again. Some
friggin' $%@^#&* hacked into OutdoorFrontiers.com and bombed the site!
I think I could cheerfully beat on this person until they were a pulp!

I emailed the support people at the web hosting service as I knew they
did routine and regular backups of all their client's sites. I was told
that they evidently backed up my site right after it was hacked, and that
the new (and now useless) backup overwrote the previous one!

And to make matters worse, the external drive that I had the site backed
up to has for some reason decided to puke. I've taken it to a computer
tech to see if he can retrieve the data but he said "Don't get your hopes
up." He did say that if he couldn't get to the data, he wouldn't bill me
for his time. I guess I should at least be thankful for no bill if
there's no data....

What's wrong with people anyway that they have to trash others work?????
