Hackers “wipe out” flight sim site, servers not backed up

Posted on 01 January 1970 by

The web site Avsim, which is popular among flight simulator enthusiasts and has existed since 1996, was “destroyed” by a hack attack. Unbelievably, the site owners did their backups between two servers, both of which were wiped out in the hack. The site is/was heavy on participation, with forums, Twitter tweets and other user-generated content, and all that is now gone.
