Last night someone hacked the World Artist's Network, which was MySpace very largest forum, and deleted the whole thing.
For hours I couldn't log on and thought it was just a server problem or something someone could easily fix. Instead, today, word started filtering around that someone had deliberately sabotaged the forum.
I am really surprised that someone could do this. By which I mean, that the forum isn't better protected from this sort of thing. Someone said it's happened to other forums there as well.
The moderator instantly contacted the MySpace central control, but, surprisingly, they haven't replied yet or done anything to try and recover the forum. In the mean time he started a new forum where people could gather, and survivors of the deleted forum have been straggling in all day, suffering from withdrawal and shock.
They located the profile from which the hacking took place but the person claims their profile, itself, was hacked and used as a base to perform the sabotage.
