Well, I'm prioritizing. It's much harder to find out if some rouge has access to your database than it is to simply fix the broken database.
So, I'd rather do that first, then go on a hunt on my own. And, in the meantime, the current database is in no real danger, and the most important things to my members are encrypted. I do hope that nobody was frivolously sharing information that could be easily read in a PM, but again - I'm prioritizing.
Also, I don't truly believe that anybody gained access to the database. It's too unlikely - we have a great password, and only a complete idiot would traverse our database to delete a specific member. And no way were they choosing a random member. It doesn't fit with our history of being hacked. The morons who hack our site usually go for something bigger than one member's posts and account. Most of my staff have been inclined to believe that it was a bug, or just somebody's accident.
If anybody has a more simple method of getting all his user information back into the database - possibly step-by-step instructions just in case I happen to get lost - I'd really appreciate that. Really, I would. Thanks!
