1. What happened with LLv1?
Nefarious actor(s) exploited some old code to delete our files and database.
Lossless Legs v1 was well overdue for an upgrade. The base code had not been updated since launch in 2005,
so there were bound to be vulnerabilities discovered by those in the darker side of the web.
We don't believe there was any specific reason for the attack - hackers hack the hackable, and they like easy targets.

2. Is there any risk to accounts after the intrusion?
The database was compromised, and as such anything in plain text might have been obtained by the hacker.
Passwords were stored in a "hashed" format (a string of letters and numbers based off your password, generated by a secure algorithm)
so we do not believe that your plain-text password was compromised. However, we advise you to change your password at LL.
Go to My Account > Change Profile > Change Password to do so. This is simply a precaution, and a best practice.
You should change passwords for ALL online services on a regular basis.We will enforce strong passwords at LL moving forward. (ie. letters, numbers, mixed case)

3. What have we done to get running again?
Luckily there were some recent backups of the site. There is some loss of data (see forums for info) but the majority of accounts, forum posts,and torrents have been restored to this shiny new code. Since web security is the name of the game in this age,we are committed to updating the siteas soon as vulnerabilities are discovered. You may notice that the website is now using https://www.shnflac.net as the address.This is called SSL. It encrypts (scrambles) any data you type in your browser to send to our servers.It also ensures you that you're visiting the genuine Lossless Legs.

Since 2017 is the 'year of the upgrade', it is fitting that you are now on the new upgraded Version 2 of Lossless Legs
to securely be around for another 12 years. A LLabor of LLove.
The new platform includes a separate development environment which allows us to continue to develop and test future enhancements.

Here is the list of major things that are missing that we plan to bring back, as well as some enhancements.

In the new build and launch, longevity was the main goal.
Now it's up to you.

Lossless Legs has ALWAYS been member built, run, and funded... and will continue to be so.
In this first month back we are placing an ADDED EMPHASIS on donations, please contribute what you can, whatever LL means to you.
The fund drive will be directly and immediately used to pay the monthly server fees.
Our goal is to cover 2-3 years costs at today's rates and be able to let you aLL know this isLLand is here to stay.

Once uploads are back in swing, there is a new revised set of guidelines, affirming our original mission, pleasing to the majority of our community, we hope.
LL is first and foremost run by Deadheads and we trade in music of the GD and JGB primarily, but have always had a diversity of other music to download at LL --- see our jazz, blues, and Americana sections for examples. The trading of tapes has traditionally been known original sources collected and archived via relations, lovingly and obsessively over years of friendships, bubble mailers, tape swaps etc...or directly from the tapers themselves sharing to ftp sites, old DC++ hubs and email groups prior to bit-torrent. The grateful style of bit-torrent sharing at LL continues this long established tradition of friends trading not for sale, high quality lossless music that they love, and have collected and archived many times on analog or dat mediums and want to share to the community.
In a lot of diverse music that is traded on the web, it is clear that the pedigree of many, many sources are rips of live bootlegs,sourced from a variety of documented and undocumented original tapes. These are for sale, many times by over seas labels, with out consent of the artists.
While there is value to the de-commodification of these sources via bittorrent, LL will no longer allow these bootleg liberation torrents - what are known as "ripped silvers" or EAC ROIOs. These are readily available on many trackers. Sources of this nature that currently exist at LL will stay but will not be moved to the top of the torrent lists in the future. This is a change we understand, and places an added emphasis on uploaders to carefully choose what they share. This does not mean only Garcia stuff trades here, any allowable band recording following the defined above stated guidelines is still allowed.
We appreciate the cooperation moving forward.
