Photobucket Is Being Hacked!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Nordly]

I have read that it is being hacked, and if I am correct I am missing several thousand images. Lets just hope I'm not. So anyone with a Photobucket, I reccomend that you make sure all your images are ok and that you have them all saved. Does anyone know a way to save lots of images from Photobucket really quickly?

Also, I am seriously considering making my album public for a few hours so HWI (and other forums)'s members can each save some of my images, and I'd be glad to do the same. Who's for it?


I am in shock.

Hi NL,

I was able to log in fine and saw no problems with my account.

Photobucket says this was due to due to an error in their DNS hosting services.

From the Photobucket support forum:

The error was fixed within an hour of its discovery, but due to the nature of the problem, some users will not have access to Photobucket for a few hours as the fix rolls out. It is important to note that only a portion of Photobucket users encountered the problem and that no Photobucket content, password information or other personal information was affected by the redirect.

You can view their full thread HERE.

If you are still having trouble, you should contact them.

I suppose its just me and none of my images are missing. At least I have some of the most important ones up and ok, hopefully all the others are too.

I attempted to log onto my Photobucket account and was not able to. At lease I have all of the images saved on my computer.

Hi Gene

Sorry to hear that! I've just logged on succesfully, so it's hopefully an isolated incident and will be back to normal soon.

Best wishes

Hi Grant,
Maybe the folks at Photobucket are trying to tell me something?

even if it happened not much would happen, they have back ups on top of backups.
