Seun,

I think your subscribers have a right to know.

We also may have to take precautions in future.

And why have you not backed up 'nairaland' in 6 months?

Please advise .. . . .

Thanks,

definitely whatever happened to nairaland is the work of hackers and they might have stumbled upon a lot of user profiles and passwords. that is why it is not ideal to used the same password for different sites

I started receiving some funny emails in my inbox at around 7am LA time. Might this be because nairaland was hacked and the hackers got all our personal infos?

it was probably the same type of thing that happened to facebook last week, it was off for a couple of hours (was wondering if someone flipped a switch somewhere).

there was also an ebay hack last month.

although i thought nl would be down for a long time sha, going by seun's posts.

am ambivalent, didnt know if i should miss the unbridled threads and hateful comments that are so common here, almost signed up on another forum, but when i noticed threads bashing females, i zoomed off quickly and stayed in read only mode.

I just like your comment for constructive criticism and understanding the circle of ICT activities.

You sound harsh but that's the job of the hackers.

I remember someone who hacked into Mark Zuck's profile on Facebook to write on his wall to show the security lapses sometime ago.

Backup and restore plus security is a must in the IT world.
