I still don't get it. I also write software and develop hardware for a living. How can you release untested software to the forum in the first place? You debug it BEFORE it's released, not as you go along. Whose idea was that?
Thats not what happened. They have been using postpro software for a long time and it worked. Someone
hacked the sites. They are now switching over to new software but havent put it online yet.

You can bet they will have to run the new software parallel for a while anyway to test it.

So they didn't back up the old software and restore the site before the switchover?
I can't imagine there was no backup before the hack.

Dyna_soar, someone hacked the biggest web hosting service in the world and caused a mess.
If you want more info, please do a search here.

I've been wondering if it was an inside job or social job but there's no detailed info even
on google.

I wondered if it were a pure outside, if law enforcement would be involved or
some kind of press release or something. The web is silent, apparently no backups.
What to think.
