    *** MWO Forum update ***

    Dear MWO users,

    We deeply apologize for the issues!

    Our Webhost took a severe hit this week by phishing attack, we ensure all data is protected.



    Explained:


    Our web cluster took a phishing hit and caused many phishing sites deployed, the server was taken down and accounts migrated to a new cluster.


    Once the new cluster was online, one phishing site was missed and the new data center immediately terminated our server cluster


    Friday at noon EST: we immediately obtained a new datacenter and started building a new redundant cluster. we patched and stabilized the cluster.


    Saturday: we started migrating one account at a time to ensure the cleanliness of the account. If it did not pass our inspection the account was not restored and will not be restored until the enduser has cleaned the backup.


    Currently we are restoring accounts and monitoring all aspects of the infrastructure.

    Again we apologize for all the issues!

    Zach


    UPDATE


    There may be a few minutes of downtime here and there this weekend as patches are applied!!!


    Thank you for your patients !

        Dont forget, you can: start late, start over, be unsure, try and fail AND STILL SUCCEED!

        If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

                      Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
                      Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
                      Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

                            Hi Zach. Hope you're going ok.

                            Question: A former member tells me she can't log into the site anymore no matter what she tries. New name, password etc....still no access. Would it be possible for her to email you so you can walk her through it please? Only that she told me she really needs this site now. no stress either way.

                            Thanks, G.
