If you visited the site last week you might have found something alarming. At least, it was pretty alarming to us. 12tomidnight.com was hacked and the website disabled. Actually, it could have been significantly worse than it was. The hacker wiped the logs (presumably to cover his tracks), deleted all the e-mail accounts, and deleted a key folder that kept the site running. However, we haven’t found any evidence that he planted malware the website (and if he had then his disabling the website would have been counterproductive), nor did he mess with the databases that drive our website and forums. Obviously we were able to restore the deleted folder from a recent backup, which means no data was lost.
If you visited the site last week and got a “site not found” message, have no fear. 12 to Midnight is not dead, and I fully plan on continuing my weekly Class Notes on Degrees of Horror.
