Hi all,

after more than a day of hardcore hacking, I finally recovered the database and website to normal state. As you can see, website statistics know about all mined blocks during the website and database outage, including worker shares of loyal miners :-). Thanks to logging onto stratum nodes I've been able to recover complete shares. Some block rewards may be a bit off, because the pool was down after the attack and miners also often didn't reconnected instantly when I restarted stratum nodes, but generally I think the stats are correct.

Pool is currently calculating block rewards, but payouts are not processed. I want to give you some time for a feedback, if block rewards are calculated +/- as expected. I need some rest now, but I'll incorporate your comments then and process payouts of your mined coins.

Thank you for your support during this incident. I made significant changes to pool infrastructure from security perspective which I'll announce in detail later. Shortly said, pool doesn't hold any coins on live servers anymore. I also moved database to trusted place with limited physical access and without any consoles, Managers etc. Database is now running in undisclosed data center and on unknown IP.
