I had incremental backups on a second drive and was back up and completely operational in less than 2 hours.
This is just another example of how stupid and incompetent you are. I hope there are 7-11s up there you can work at. Just don't fuck up selling Slurpees like you have fucked up in this business or you will find yourself out of work again.

The server was secure. It was one of the scripts used that was insecure and the attack was via mysql injection via one of the form text fields.
There was a backup, but the fucking server admin went to make a new backup, problem was that he was backing up an empty server and when he did so, he overwrote the original backup. I had the original html fies/content on my harddrive, but decided to throw in the towel on it since I was not motivated to reconfigure all the scripts/dB, etc and do the ftp of all the content. The first time I ftp everything took up almost a week.
I had other sites such as TGP, blogs, etc that were making far more money than the paysite.. Dude, I was so fucking pissed off about getting hacked that I lost interest in the paysites and just focused on salvaging everything else.
