    This is insane:( I think WHT is the oldest community I've been a member of. Joined when I was 11, makes it 10 years!

    This would make for a great case study though. It sounds like it has to be an inside job considering the hacker was so totally aware of all the backup infrastructure. WHT doesn't have tonnes of employees so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out if it was from the inside.
