French wargamers forum "Jeu d'Histoire" hacked

The French wargamers forum “Jeu d’Histoire”, which was active since 15 years, has been hacked. Apparently all threads and backups (except members profiles) have been destroyed.

Cripes that's a lot of work just gone.

Of course Photobucket has already destroyed thousands of threads across all wargaming forums dating back ten years or more as well...  :-[ 

I doubt that's much of a consolation though. :?

Remember kids - proper backup procedures are a minimum of three backups, with each on physically different drives, ant at least one being completely physically separate and in a different real-world location. A lesson too many learn the hard way.

I think what happened is much more serious than just losing images. It is also a clear proof of idiocy of people who literally destroys 15 years of other people effort just to show... how stupid they are (never liked hackers in my life! I think they are a waste of flesh...)
