Thanks for that Strada. We had a major hack on the Adventure Travel site a few months back which has led to me running daily backups on ABR. Hope you're doing the same on yours :whistle:

Excuse my stupidity but can this affect the users to the forum, or does it just affect the website thats targeted, and what do these people get out of doing it?
A lot of questions I know, sorry.

I suspect its something to do with the Wiki leaks protest. They are flooding places with stuff to freeze things with no harm to users.
