Just got the mass email from SoftWareRevue of WHT:
I guess the lessons that will eventually be learnt from this are going to be sobering.
I haven't been there in months and I got to say I am pretty shocked to see WHT successfully targeted and to this extent.It's been pretty hectic around here, but I wanted to make sure as many members as possible know what's going on. At approximately 8:30 pm EST on Saturday, March 21 The malicious attacker deleted all backups from the backup servers within the infrastructure before deleting tables from our db server. We were alerted of the db exploitation and quickly shut down the site to prevent further damage.
Over the years I have sometimes, time allowing, followed the threads there including the ones about their own issues.The offsite backup, the onsite backup and the operational data were destroyed by the attacker
I guess the lessons that will eventually be learnt from this are going to be sobering.
