That's sounds more like human error on my part. I'll have a look at how I've set the permissions for the feedback forums and the groups you're a member of.

Near impossible to tell with a DDoS attack as the nature of the attack has numerous computers bombarding a server with hundreds of thousands of requests per second. (often rouge computers who's owners are unaware of what their computers are doing as hackers take control of them through trojans and malware.) The system file corruption was a matter of hardware finally finding its end. Possibly sped up by the attack.

Indeed. Although I have the Website backed-up on a drive at home, the forum database back-up I had on file was a week old. I'm glad the host was able to pull their backup from only a couple hours before the attack.
