:GASP: Blahblahwahwah; account hacked - everything gone - please read
Topic Started: Mar 3 2012, 01:22 AM (4,754 Views)

:ermm:

Hey guys.

I came back couple of days back - found I couldn't access anything and realized that the unimaginable happened.
My computer was hacked into while I was on wedding vay-kay along with a primary email acct. To my absolute horror ALL my personal and professional data are lost.

:omg:

I cannot tell you what a nightmare this has been for me - because I lost ALL of stuff I need for work, including my outlook calendar and journal data - all of my files - especially the ones which I forgot to backup before I ran off on vaykay. :cry:
Thankfully stuff 90% of work stuff is backed up on the work comp along with my calendars. Unfortunately 10% that's lost was important stuff that I need to do ALL over again.

I found out who did it - and believe me there's hell to pay however, I have absolutely no idea why - the same person deleted my fics on ff.net - along with the copies in the Doc Manager. It makes no sense because that stuff was personal but I guess when someone's a nut - it doesn't matter what nutty stuff they're dong. :angry:

So - basically all the stories - ::poosh!::: gone!

:cry:

Now - the email account which I could use for this fanboard was safe - thankfully which is why this is the only acct i've been able to access - and somehow I could recover my ff.net acct - sans stories for which I've made the necessary email changes
Anyway - what's gone is gone. So here is my appeal to you all. if anyone has saved/downloaded stories of mine. If you want it back up on the site, please email it to me on blahblah.wahwah@aol.com - I can reupload it on ff.net.


I decided against moving to AO3 becoz I don't like the document handling. One has to copy and paste and it's a real pain.

Of course - you will understand that with the burden of this drama that I'll be facing at work - I will not immediately be able to get back to writing but - that's just a temporary thing. As far as my incomplete fics are concerned - if I get all - and I mean ALL the previous chapters (i'm hoping someone's saved it somewhere and in some form) - I can continue. The fics are of course Someone Killed Santa and I remember it had seven chapters and Vanilla Twilight which had 11 or 12 out.

I'm really sorry you guys. :dunno:

I am humbled, flattered and extremely grateful for the fact that so many folks are interested in my stories and I guess it's a strain for y'all too. I miss my work too - but :uhh: Thanks for reading and liking my work.

--- Blahblahwahwah

Wow. I'm so sorry.

I don't know if ff.net actually stores the deleted stories for a short time or not before they're fully gone, so you may wanna contact their tech support or whatever it's called there and ask, it's worth a shot.

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear some A-hole did that to you!! Hope he or she suffers some major karmic payback. :angry: :baseballbat: That really and truly sucks!! First of all, good luck restoring the critical work stuff. Secondly, good luck getting some stories back. I really wish I'd downloaded something so that I could help. Unfortunately, I haven't sprung for a tablet yet and read everything online from my laptop at home. So I don't have anything. :sad:

Hang in there, and hope you at least had fun at the wedding.

I just realized that you're like a walking ad for backup options like Dropbox, etc.

I tried for the longest to find a cached version, but had no luck. Maybe someone else can find one.

You can take a screenshot if you're wanting the image. She wouldn't be able to copy text of course, but she could always use it to retype if she had to.

EDIT: Can you post the link to the images here? And tell us how you were able to find it? Maybe we can find the other chapters.

svugirl, I PM'd bbww that I have her stories and will e-mail them to her. So you may not have to manipulate the Google images just yet (unless there's a problem with my e-mails)...

thanks, but let's not celebrate until we know she got them! (YOU know me & technology, svugirl!! :wink: )

Losing all your data - I can't imagine - I'm sure bbww's concentrating on 'reconstructing' her work/personal stuff before turning to fan fic! Sorry I didn't keep her famously hilarious author's notes, and hope this experience hasn't dampened her sense of humour, too much!!!

Wow that story is so frustrating and disheartening. I kinda wish I had the foresight to save your stories because you are one of my fav writers. Good luck getting all our work redone and backed up. I know it must seem daunting at this point but soon it will be a distant memory.

Oh my God! I don't like to use that expression, but I think that it's pretty useful right now. I can't believe that people do such things. I mean I'm not naive, I know that there are all sort of nuts people, I just can't see what they win doing this.

Sorry to read that. Unfortunately I can't help you, but it's good that someone has saved your fics.
