Of course he must have no life at all. This doesn't take an hour, it must have taken him a bit of time.

The thing is, they had hard backups from sooner than that. However, they were unable to restore them for various reasons.

Keeping backups online is a major mistake of any company. Not testing the physical media for offline backups is another. Lesson learned - reputation tarnished.

No system is totally secure, and optical 'hard' backups are a major pain and time investment. Online backups are great but there is always a risk when anything is online. Hopefully this incident will teach the value of backups to the many hosts and users of WHT who think they are secure and don't make proper backups.
*No* networked computer today is %100 safe. We don't know what measures WHT took but its fair to say they were much harder to hack than most of the hosts who post here!
Good luck WHT!0

I'm going to close this thread. If you have questions, feel free to ask. If you have answers, I'd encourage you to start a thread in one of our many forums.
In fact, I'd like to encourage anyone reading to help us get back to the normal day-to-day activities around here by exploring the forums, answering questions, asking questions, talking about what's gone on in your corner of the world and helping us rebuild the great WHT content (that we're still working several avenues to restore).
Thanks for everyone's patience and support.There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.0
