Hello Imac visitors
We are all really sorry to have to report that late last night an attacker managed to compromise the main insanelymac.com server and delete the whole forum. Obviously this is a totally devastating and criminal activity. Luckily we think we have managed to track them down from tracks they have left on the server and have now contacted the relevant police authorities who will be paying them a visit.
Anyway in the mean time we have been trying all day to restore the site from our backups but unfortunately the back-up service we did have was encrypted and we can't get hold of the server admin who has the password to unlock the encrypted files.
We do also have an old copy of the site and forum posts from 6 weeks ago, but re-opening the site with this is far from ideal so we are still trying to contact the old server admin to find out the password so that we can access last nights backup.
Please bear with us at this difficult time, we will be back shortly we hope with a better back-up solution and some more security to stop this happening again.
Brendan, Paul, Ed and Jim.
PS:We're also taking the opportunity to migrate the site on to two shiny new servers that should hopefully speed the forum up a little during times of high traffic.
