In regards to spam - I haven't seen an increase, but I wouldn't notice anyway. Google Apps (gmail - own domain) seems to handle any SPAM pretty easily, I very very rarely get any spam in my inbox.

I usually get around 10 spam per day.
However since this WHT hacking I'm now getting 0 spam per day.
Yeah, seriously. That surprised me too! For some reason the spam has just stopped for me!0

That's such a misconception it's not even funny.
I haven't received any increase in spam at all. I HAVE received the usual bit of spam (an occasional mail or two), but for the most part, it's all good. Saying "get used to it" isn't the right answer. Get proper protection and you're set.Tom Whiting, WHMCS Guru extraordinaire

I lost my account "auto_freak" during this hack attempt. Made around 50-100 posts, feel bad for those who lost a lot more posts and also sorry to WHT for losing so much good content. Hope you all will recover all the data.

=====Begin Rant/Info=====
This really sucks for both the WHT community and the host or hostess, Cause in the long run were both screwed as you know WHT one of the biggest hosting info forums online, We hold a lot of info here and a lot of members that got pissed cause of this ordeal. Now the hostess or host now has a bad rep on here because a backup server got hacked and now everyone on here thinks thats really really bad witch it is. So now we all know that the host or hostess is bad no one is going to use them their rep is going down, i would call this a loose loose situation, I hope things get better and i hope the community comes together to help rebuilt.
=====End Rant/Info=====
Thanks

It's too bad people with the knowledge to pull off an attack like can't use there skills in a more positive way.
My software never has bugs... It just has random features.

That is so true! People with that type of knowledge could be making so much more money. However, the hacker very well may have made a significant amount of money from this event due to the fact that he could have sold all the information. A lot of people who pay a lot of money for all of our emails.

I think this thread has served its purpose. I really appreciate everyone's patience as work towards restoration.
Keep posting. Report bugs. Enjoy WHT.There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.0
