Large Scale Modeller Forum Hacked

[RichB]

From their FB page:

IMPORTANT FORUM ANNOUNCEMENT:
If you are a regular on our forum, you may have noticed we have been offline for a few days. A few days ago we received the sickening news that multiple servers across the UK have been hit hard by hackers. Our little forum is collateral damage in this event.
This means ALL builds, photo's and member accounts have simply been deleted, including the two back-up servers.
-----
Over the last few days we have been working feverishly on a complete new LSM forum that runs on the highest level server and protection that money can buy, with quadruple back-ups running weekly. We again included an image hosting service which is twice as fast as the previous one.
And we will offer a 3D model library for all members. As well as 3D tutorials and troubleshooting.
-----
So please: go to the forum, register a new account, and post your old builds, your current work in progress and anything else you feel the need to share.
-----
Remember: Large Scale Modeller is for ALL scales and ALL subjects.

The New Large Scale Modeller

Cheers,
RichB

Luckily for me, I keep copies of all my images that I upload.

Without getting into details our Work network got hit a year ago. I was shocked at the response from some of the business leaders. Instead of "Why did you let this happen?!" we got complete cooperation and support to get past it. We now have a far more secure (we were not unsecure in the past but there's only so much you can do to prevent someone from clicking that bad players link) infrastructure.

From the ashes comes a bigger better forum. Good luck to them! the website looks great!.
