Yep - we got  hit by the sanity worm - twice!!
Got hit yesterday morning, finally restored everything yesterday
afternoon, only to get hit again an hour later !!!

Every html and php file on the server was replaced with that bloody
"this site has been defaced" message.... and not just the ozdat site...
it was the whole datascribe server and all my customers sites too :(

anyway once I get the forum software updated hopefully it won't
happen again...

just what I need a couple of days before Christmas...

Oh well - at least the Mailing list ticks over nicely and doesn't cause me
any extra work :)


Anyway , Have a Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year.
Thanks to all of you that contribute to make Ozdat what it is.

Regards
James
