Man - thats bad... hope the backups were working, or that someone had it 
stored locally. I had been meaning to, but never got around to it...
      
So far it looks like an attack/hack.  The main articles should all be 
relatively retrievable.  The site itself is still there, but the 
database was blanked out of existence.

The most important thing is figuring out just how someone did this.
    

No doubt... it is really sad that there are people out there who do 
things like this.
Unbelievably it was my hosting provider.  They have admitted to doing something wrong in regards to the SQL service, although it is very peculiar why it effected the Wiki database and not any of my other databases.

They are trying to fix it, but frankly it appears to be a lost cause so far.  Something is wrong with the backups stored.  Dunno the details and frankly its a bit out of my realm.

Thankfully Google has cached all the important pages. I dunno how long it will take to get the site config back to snuff though.  All accounts will have to be recreated.

I'm going to configure off-site backups moving forward.
