Does the host of your forum keep any backups?<BR/><BR/>This is a terrible reminder to everyone of the importance of keeping backup copies of all important data. Whatever works for you, do it, do it often, and keep your data on more than one device in more than one physical location.<BR/><BR/>Sarah, what Internet archives are you referring to? My first thought was to use Google to bring up all pages from the forum domain, and then look at cached copies. And start saving these off to our hard drives like mad.

She justs wants the attention and interaction. So some or all of the "anonymous" comments above totally fit her behavior profile and are probably her. She is a mentally unstable person who just wants the attention. Don't be fooled and don't give it to her. Her own "diet" site is sinking, so this may explain her sudden attack on Jimmy and the LC community, who really "outed" her scam. Her true identity, whereabouts and history are now widely known, so she won't get away with much.Kevin M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04275512513793292888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-59458618576856829602008-04-12T16:30:00.000-04:002008-04-12T16:30:00.000-04:00I did click on the link like I stupid idiot cause ...I did click on the link like I stupid idiot cause I havent been around the board in a long time, didn't realize that there was a problem....

It's likely that this was a simple smash and grab, so the logs should provide you enough evidence to at least find out what IP address was doing this. Paypal should have similar anti-fraud log files available for analysis. Make sure you get them to preserve the log files before they get rotated.<BR/><BR/>Worst case scenario, the hacker used an anonymous proxy, but my bet is that they probably weren't that intelligent. Most likely they hacked from a library or coffee shop, but even that little bit of information can give you a lead to what city you should be looking in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-33859225624940662442008-04-11T19:04:00.000-04:002008-04-11T19:04:00.000-04:00You were hacked... but we all lost.We lost Charles...You were hacked... but we all lost.<BR/><BR/>We lost Charles' dedicated hard work in summarizing Gary Taubes' book (Good Calories, Bad Calories) chapter by chapter.<BR/><BR/>We lost Valerie's knowledge, a blow to me personally, since her approach to diet is so close to my own.

If so, start by asking what other systems have both your e-mail address (paypal login) and the same password.... this hopefully will narrow things down a bit. Lesson to learn: Never use the same password on two different systems! And never use a password or pin that can be found on your drivers license (street address, last 4 digits of phone #, birthday, etc.).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-76302905398683810342008-04-10T22:27:00.000-04:002008-04-10T22:27:00.000-04:00"While I don't have any specific proof yet"That do..."While I don't have any specific proof yet"<BR/><BR/>That does not imply that he's directly accusing.
