Last week, the Hyper Nonsense website disappeared. Not sure for how long. Don’t think it was any longer than a day. But, somehow, the entire site had been deleted from the server. I didn’t do it. Jen didn’t do it. And we’re the only ones who have FTP access to the site. I checked with tech support at my web hosting company. But tech support didn’t have an explanation for the deletion. Tech support did restore the site rather quickly from the company’s backups, which was nice. Aside from one minor addition to the blogroll, the entire site returned just as it was. Regardless, this incident makes me wonder if the site could’ve been hacked. There’s been plenty of news lately about WordPress sites getting hacked. But those hack jobs were usually done by spammers. In this case, the site was simply nuked into non-existence. It’s always possible too that it was some random fluke caused by the server that made the site vanish. I’ll probably never know for sure. And considering how easy it was to get the site back to its former state, I’m not that worried about it happening again. I guess the lesson to be learned here is, MAKE BACKUPS. Or make sure someone is doing it for you!
