Hey dearhearts,

Because I know I wasn't the only one concerned - my beloved zarah5's journal has been hacked, and her personal information changed to the point that she's not sure the damage can be undone. She's doing as much as she can, and she says there's nothing anyone else can do, but she's not sure her journal can be recovered at this point. If ( Read more... )

Oh my god. Fucking A! What the fuck is this bullshit?!

Jen, would you please consider adding an ETA to this post advertising LJ-Archive? It's a free program that allows you to backup your LJ and save all posts/comments to your hard drive. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ljarchive/. They are also then re-postable using LJ-Sec: when I switched to IJ, I transferred my entire LJ content, lock, stock, and two smoking barrels. It's waaaaaaay easier than people think, and the benefits clearly far outweigh the costs.

If you yourself haven't backed up your journal, please consider doing so. I'm backing up mine right now, even though there hasn't been any inkling of a hit on IJ. Better safe than sorry, y'know? I can't believe someone would DO something like that!

Here's a step-by-step guide to using both LJ-archive and LJ-sec. http://brown-betty.livejournal.com/284083.html?thread=3059379

Also, there's a link to a program that might help Mac users. AFAIK, LJ-archive only works for PC? I should note that LJ-archive really only saves your LJ to your computer. If you want to transfer one journal's content to another, you can use LJ-Sec. http://www.mp3vcr.com/ljsec/

Ugh, poor Zarah!

I don't think I can do anything about helping her recover her entries, but would you please pass along to her that if she wants, I would be more than happy to make her some icons? ♥
