As you all know, my blog was hacked a while ago. So I’m now busy rebuilding from scratch. It’ll take some time so bear with me.

  1. Man, sorry to hear about that. I use the export function to get an xml of my posts (faster to restore the posts using import) but I have been lax about doing it. I guess I need to make a schedule and stick to it.

    Let me know if you have a best practices or key learnings… I’d be interested as this is is always a worry.

    I recently had to rebuild my office computer but I had used ntbackup to save the data on an exteranl hard drive… it took me a day but I had all of my data from the previous (2 week old) backup…. never fun.

      Yeah, it sucked big time, but that’s what happens if you don’t do your homework. So I can only blame myself. I did do regular back ups but they seem to be corrupt. Maybe the hacker was in longer than I knew and messed everything up.

      It’ll get you started. I’m reading up on a lot of technical stuff re. MySQL databases and related issues. I’d prefer to just spend my time writing content but unfortunately security needs to be handled first. Oh well…
