What a pity.Thank God you had a backup.After been hacked by Jamaycka, now I frequently make a backup.

macibai … never mentioned me for giving u a call at 4am? kaninia …

If you want a copy of ur past 2 day’s archives, let me know. Cheers.

And next time, don’t message me with “Don’t tell me it is not you” I rather you message me with Hello, or Hi, or morning =)

Oh, this site is back online.

Yeah I saw that yesterday as I was telling one of my friend about your post regarding 400 Malaysian blogs were hacked.

And when I came here…OMG you became one of the victim.

But anyway good to see you back! You will be able to recover your previous posts (if you want) using google cache. Just search for the post titles and if they were indexed by google, it will appear and just click on Cached and get the cached version. Then later you can repost them in your wp.

wish you all the best

i tot u were doin another april fool joke. :P

anywayyy.. who ask u not to upgradeee… :P

come go out have a beer. i know u sad..

I’m signed up for your rss feeds and i’ll click the link from time to time, very informative stuff you have here. I was quite upset when i saw that your site was defaced.

I”ve had similar experiences. A hacker once took down my design portfolio and disrupted my business. I havent been able to get back on track fully since.

I’ve been doing alot of reading from your site and it does help alot. Keep up the good work.

kilkenny? on me. mau?

i dont think the defacer is kinda leet. they are actually a bunch of script kiddies whos use ready made script. they are the real noob

Ahmad: I’m glad my host did backups regulary :-)

Earl: I din not realized your call 4.00 in the morning. Phone batt run dry this morning, but thank you la, especially your post on that. You sound happy thou.

Melvin: Knowing what you are capable of, you’ll probably think the same. At least I did not jump on conclusion. ;p

Nicholas, Kimkins: Previous 2 post were fine; I have backups at home.

Cincau: April Fool over la, I wont do such thing especially when it potentially hurts my online revenue. Siao! I’ll still take your killkenny.

David: I learned the important of constant backup now, haha.

Kucau: The defacer definitely thinks it’s cool. Btw, I’ve got the SQL injection exploits, hate to believe such things are so easy available online.
