talk about a strange deal! Over the weekend another forum I belonged to (Intel Forums) was hijacked big time! It started with the front page being altered, then systematically (if you can call it that) all the members were deleted and then all the threads and so on! When they were done the Forum literally "ceased" to exist.
The owners of the forum were caught off guard and apparantly have little or no backup from which to get the forum up and running again. All apears to be lost.
From what one of the mods told me, someone from Italy hacked into the server and was able to decript the password to the "root" files of the forum and from there 'went nuts!"
Nothing like having a few years hard work go down the drain!
