    Recent downtime explanation and apologies

    Hi Guys,

    Apologies for the recent downtime. One of our hosts was hit with a very serious zero-day attack which wiped out just over half our backend servers. They attempted to restore their own (old) backups, which took some time. When all our servers were back online I restored our own backups (which run live alongside the site.) There should be no rollback effect.

    Hopefully it's all smooth sailing from here.

    Let me know if you come across any bugs with the site over the next few days.

    -Richard

    And what's a zero-day attack? Some kind of super DDoS?

    Oh, so where was the exploit exactly? In the servers or in the website itself? Was Sythe.org actually hacked?

    The host servers were exploited. I believe RamNode is the name.
