This morning, it seems someone hacked my site and deleted all the members/posts and threads. The wierd thing is there is still 8 members left on the site and about 4 topics that are still there. Also my post count was uneffected in this whole process. Dispite there only being about 4 topics and posts left on the forum as of now, my post count still reads around 1700 or something. Now, I am Super admin of the site and as most of you may know, Super admins cannot be modified in any which way. Unless someone knows your host domain, password, and modifies you out of the config.php script so your no longer a super admin. Anyways My host tells me the Last Ip that logs in to the account. I checked that out and the Last IP that logged into my host was from me. So knowing that I never lost my Super admin rights and you cannot edit a Super admins post count, Im left wondering... where did all the posts and threads go? My forums are relatively new and making a backup database never crossed my mind recently, so that wouldn't help much. Im just wondering if any of you could provide me with more info, like if I can recover the missing threads and posts.
You can make a protected user (Super-Admins are not necessarily protected Users, and protected users are not necessarily Super-Admins) editable without access to config.php ...
