Reading the information available online from subscribers ( including myself )
and the server / cloud backup accepted as available , a denial of service is considered by many as extremely likely.

No one with a reasonable technical track record takes 11 days for a reset , or copying to another server setup . !

Sales and allowing re registering existing software on reinstall etc , especially being the key to their service.

Funny I did a search under Wincustomize and Stardock and your thread link did not appear ! ......... apologies.

Is that your technical experience is it?

The backup is 32 Gigabytes and needs to be treated delicately.

Not only likely but actually stated by Stardock a week ago.

Hacking or stealing user databases is something completely different from blocking a server by means of DDos attacks!
When user databases are set up correctly (by means of encrypting it), even hacking the server does not mean the data would be compromized.

Of course hacking & stealing are different, from a common sense perspectice . Se we should await the truthful outcome .
Lets hope it minimses the fallout .

Or was it your own conclusion that a DDos attack automatically implicates a possible danger for user ID's?
Every second there are DDos attacks somehere and that would mean no date in the world will be save!

IMHO you should not scare people more than strictly neccesary and scaring is what you did by posting the thread.!

Noticed again today that the Wincustomize site is still down. Can't get any information from them when it'll be back up, can't even reach them to find anything out ?? I wonder if they'll even restore the site as it's been two weeks now.
