Got Hacked Again

Well, it seems a bi-yearly occurrence that Woolie’s World gets hacked. This morning I came down to some Georgian Hackers are cool thing that filled every page on the site.

Oh well I thought, they will probably just have modified one of the configuration files like they usually do. However, this was not the case, they had deleted a good few posts (including the most recent ones). Thankfully I had taken a backup of the DB the night before, so everything is now restored. If I hadn’t taken a backup last night, I would have had to revert to the last backup which was August 2007! Obviously that would have made me quite annoyed (losing posts etc). It was sheer luck that I had taken a backup the night before I got hacked. Anyway, the moral of this story is… TAKE REGULAR BACKUPS!
