Edited to Add: Things appear to be back up and running with my blog. It has been a scary and stressful 24 hours but it appears I was able to get all my data and posts back.
Let’s talk about more fun things, like Baking Rules, my last post that occurred moments before the fiasco.
Or the Manna Bread Giveaway I started
———————————————————————
My blog was hacked about an hour ago. I have emails out to a few different people to try to get it restored, asap.
1000+ blog posts spanning a few years are all missing. Every single recipe I have ever written, gone.
Every single picture of Skylar that I do not have backed up any other way and is solely in the form of blog posts, gone.
The posts in drafts that I had pre-written, i.e. recipes, thoughts, photography, notes from my life, are also missing.
The stress that I am feeling right now is beyond overwhelming. Years of work has just gone missing.
In other matters, my credit card was also hacked today.
It has not been a good day.
Your patience is appreciated while I try to repair my blog. I am at the mercy of others to get back to me because I have absolutely no idea how to proceed on my own.
The one good thing is that I have been doing monthly blog backups and so maybe, just maybe, all is not lost. I don’t know yet…
oh no!! so so sorry! if we can do anything, please let us know. Like go beat up the hacker!
I can imagine how stressed you’ve been! That’s so much hard work, blood, sweat, and tears. I’m happy it sounds to have worked out.
*huggs* How horrible :( Does your hosting company have backups? Sometimes they do, here’s hoping someone can access them for you.
Oh my gosh. That is so horrible! I’m glad it came back, though, and your posts are back. I hope everything goes well for you!
I read the post and THEN I read the edit! Thank goodness! I’m so sorry this happened, but you’re responsible nature really helped you out!
I’m so sorry to hear about this Averie. This must be extremely unsettling, to say the least. It looks like it is back up and running, and I hope you are able to move forward without much data/photo loss.
So sorry! This is terrible for you!
This is the kind of thing that upsets me. I don’t get it. Why completely block, destroy, remove another person’s site? For what purpose? Just to prove that you can? I’m sorry, I know it’s frustrating. Thankfully you were smart enough to back up your site as well as catch the credit card fraud. So sorry for your horrible day.
So sorry!! Glad things are resolved. I need to figure out how to back up my blog. I don’t even know what that means. Eeek.
OH no that is horrible…What kind of person would do this to you!? I hope everything gets back soon <3
Ugh – totally sucks. So sorry that happened to you.
I was wondering why I couldn’t click to your post out of reader this morning! I figured it was just a little glitch…and I wish that was the truth, not that you were hacked :( I’m so, so sorry to hear that!! I’m keeping everything crossed for you that it can be recovered.
Averie that stinks!!! I’m glad things seem to be back to normal — what a hassle.
I am so sorry to hear what happened : ( its sad how someone can do something like that, I hope you recover everything <3
I hope you have managed to get everything back; I was a member of a forum that got hacked and we lost everything so I know how devastating it can be. What a crappy day :(
oh girl! I’m so sorry to hear this. How ridiculous. I’m glad to read that things are looking back to normal though.
