    Stay away from sites like these with little to no security measures! Even TL isn't as newbie as this.

    Have they not heard of regular backups in different locations?! Pretty scary... I think the site owners are to blame for being so careless. Majority of the sites I know of backup AT LEAST once a day and normally by more than one person in different locations (Sysops/admins usually do the backups)..

    Now get your spam filters ready for some action. A database like Torrentbytes's is worth a couple of grand and whoever wants to promote his website/product won't buy the database just for general knowledge.

    agreed... we have a daily cron script that does a db backup once a day every day and once a week it offloads the newest backup to 2 offline servers...

    Seems strange that ALL the backups were owned by just the one guy, especially when you consider how long TBy has been going for.
