In my case over a year of posts just are gone. Fisrt some of the formating changed - I swithed themes to try to fix it on wordpress 2.7 only to return a few hours later and find all the posts - gone. I checked for recent visitors and found a site linked to a politcal campaign that I had commented about - also a couple of others. strange - my blog had been dormant for a while - busy with work. Fortunately for me I report a lot of my content on open (free sites) often cross posting as a contingency if the owned url goes down or is attacked. So my question is - how did they do it. the coments are still there - the other widgets are up but the main articles are all gone. Any ideas? I'm working slowly to build it next week. Also my geek advisor told me the could have accessed me though twitter to get to the posts somehow? Is that possible - looking at the main dashboard everything looks normal. Its just all the posts are gone... so much for a years worth of blogging.... thanks for listening. Mike Cohen AKA MikeinManila Hi Guys,

Any ideas? I’m working slowly to build it next week.

I'm hosted with Dreamhost and luckily my account was not of those that was breached. Anyways, I still changed all my passwords and checked my FTP folders just to be sure. Btw, about what nemo mentioned, I also tried accessing this site about the same time as nemo and it was down. I just posted about Dreamhost’s security being breached.
