Hi all,
It appears one of our member accounts was accessed by a spam bot a few days ago. Short version of the story, in a single day nearly all of the members 3,100+ posts where edited, and replaced with copy/paste spam and other nonsense.
Unfortunately, the only course of action after such an event is to delete the account. While we run backups, they are on site-wide and server levels, designed to restore the entire site after a critical incident. We cannot do restorations at an account level.
The account was of a member who has not been active on the forum for a while, but even so, it's a terrible waste of information.
Protect your account!
If your password is simple or obvious, change it. If you use the same password across multiple sites/networks, I'd strongly suggest using different ones for your more valuable accounts, so you cannot lose all of them if your password is acquired by someone.
See here for some password tips: How to choose a secure password.
This is the first time we've had to do this in years and it's a real shame. I hope we never have to do it again.
