EZBoards have now officially admitted that they were the target of a malicious internet attack, much as we already suspected yesterday.

You can all read the official announcement at their Help Forum:

-----------------------------------------

Dear ezboard Family,

On Tuesday May 31 ezboard's systems were the victim of a very

precise and malicious internet attack. This attack resulted in the

loss of a significant amount of current and historical board

postings and interrupted services across all systems. I deeply

apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused and am here to

give you the first of several in-depth updates.

At this time most board management services have been restored and

our goal is to have post/reply repaired on Wednesday . We are

working to restore board data from our back-up systems. This will

take some time, and complete data restoration may not be possible,

but it is what we are working towards. What we know now is that the

attacker deleted current board and back-up data. We are taking the

fastest route to restore data, but it may take up to 48 hours to get

data back to approximately 9,000 boards. A more manual method

requiring upwards of seven to ten days is required to restore data

to the other boards that lost data. Regrettably we may not be able

to restore data to all boards that lost data.

Second to restoring board data we are gathering information on how

the attacker went about his or her business and what evidence was

left behind. We are using this information to reduce the opportunity

for future attackers as we build our new release. Should you hear or

read anything about this attack we would love to know about it at

legal@ezboard.com.

You should be aware that there is no evidence that personal

information was touched. There was also no opportunity to see or

download credit card information as ezboard does not keep credit

card numbers on file.

Again, I apologize to you for any inconvenience caused as we value

your participation on ezboard today and as we move towards an

exciting - and more robust - version of the experience. We are

working to restore your systems as fast as possible. Gold Board

managers will be receiving information on GB subscription credits in

the next few days.

We we keep you updated as the restoration progresses.

Sincerely,

Rob

Robert Labatt
