I'm sorry. Website was hacked. It's my fault.

so the import function doesnt work as well ? says project not found.

[XDV]

MISTAKES AS A TEACHER.
I am rooting for you.

[GeoFX]

@akallai86 Import Project function is restored already. At least I can confirm it for MQL4

[akallai86]

@geofx sadly no. I had a fairly large project with multiple people working on it and it says project not found while importing.

Hi,
Very sad to see that malicious people are everywhere.

Can you tell us if our mail/password/personal data/payment information have been compromised as well?

@akallai86 sorry to hear that. Letting you know, I have successfully restored a project with 3000+ condition blocks. Hopefully, Admin will address this for you moving forward

[kestra]

@fxdreema WE STILL LOVE YOU AND WE TRUST YOU WILL WORK ON IT, MY ADVICE FOR EVERYONE IS TO TRY AND ALWAYS SAVE THEIR FILES. GOD WILL HELP ALL OF US.

@fxdreema .

[akallai86]

@geofx yes probably your project was from before 6 months ago. it seems like projects are saved based on the encrypted identified at the end of the code and then just reloaded from the database based on this identifier and not actually telling fxdreema where and what to place where. hence many people asked for desktop version in exactly that case happened. well sadly seems like I have to built from scratch.. luckily I got so may handwritten notes about the process.

[akallai86]

@geofx holy moly I just recovered my backup.. that was months of work and backtests boom.. I hope admin learned from it and does daily backup now with a second website for his developing purpose and hope he does backups now before updates. !!!!

@fxdreema

Hi. Sorry for this, to you and the whole affected community here

Please dont beat yourself too much, happens to the best of em; govt gets hacked, corporates get hacked, multinationals get hacked.

But I deserve some hate anyway.

I was looking at the backup options of the hosting provider, I can have 2 backups at a time and/or 1 manually created snapshot. And they are not even that expensive. Why I never tried them... I don't know.

Have you ever tried/considered using cloud servers such as AWS for your systems?
Never tried it. I think yesterday I was watching some video about serverless applications, but I don't know. The database was very large, but this was mostly because of my bad design. Currently I'm rewriting the whole website and my idea was that I will make the database in much better and effective way. Not only that, but the code itself will be much better and stable. I think somewhere in the next year I will do this update.

However, the size of the database was not what caused this problem now. Maybe because of the big size I believed that backing up this thing (aroung 80GB compressed size, 400GB uncompressed data) would be very hard, but at the end of the day the mistake I made was not directly related to the database.

[fxDreema]

@speedsk8r Hey, better send me this in email or PM, because I may miss it here. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the payments and I haven't started restoring them. And also how to do them, because this will be manual work for a while... or I may write a script for it.

Once again, at the moment everyone should be able to work in the EA builder as if he is paid, no matter what number and text is displayed on the right side. Even for guys who never paid. It will probably be like this for few days.

[roar]

@fxdreema it happens... Thank you for keeping the platform up all these years

[mehmet]

@fxdreema Sorry to hear about all this.
At least I know why my projects and payment history are missing.
I'm sure you'll be working hard to fix everything to the best of your ability.
I hope you can reach the past records,
I do not have the MQL code of many of the works I have done in 6 months
Last payment date: 2022-12-19 (akkyell@gmail.com) thank you

my facebook it's gone from my detail myfxbook
TT
but i'm OK

[speedsk8r]

@fxdreema I've sent my details to you via email as well. I hope that you restore payment/subscription history before removing the "free to use" grace period. I'll ad that as a professional in IT I've faced many situations that require custom configured backup schemes. I don't consider 400GB of uncompressed data difficult to compress on the fly and store in online connected storage however... my .2 cent
Nearly all databases I've been tasked to safeguard require a good open file manager to prevent corruption and indexing issues. Hopefully for you it might be simple enough to backup just project data with a daily differential. Then a basic OFM could do the heavy lifting. Jungle Disks OFM, on the fly compression and bandwidth throttling features is super and multi platform. Please bite that bullet and protect your client data. I'd think that advertising your backup schema on the website will help to bolster confidence after an event like this.

Of course

I'm pretty good with JavaScript these days, but with databases I know the basics. I don't even know what I don't know... like the problems you describe.
