Seeking help from an IT security person - please share!
I run an open source, federated event sharing site, #Gathio (https://gath.io). A few days ago, it was victim to a ransomware attack that deleted the database. I need a few hours of someone's time (paid of course!) to sit with me and go through my security configuration ASAP.
Sometimes, running open source, free, community services _sucks_. 
If you were hosting an event on Gathio:
1) I'm really sorry. This sucks - it's never happened before, which is hardly a comfort for you, I'm sure. I'm doing all I can to make sure it never happens again, and I've taken Gathio offline for the time being.
2) If you created your event (or group) before 1 August 2024, it'll be in a backup that was made on that date, which I'll restore after the server is secured. If you made it after that, I'm afraid it's gone.
If you run your own Gathio instance:
For the time being, I recommend you take it down, in case there's a security vulnerability in the Gathio code itself.
An update: https://gath.io is back online and safer than ever, thank you everyone for your support and advice.
