This week E-Fauna was hacked into, and there was some damage. While we now have the site back up and running, some data was lost. The database that holds the photo details that accompany your photos was corrupted. Our back up files were also corrupted. The result of this is that if you submitted photos to E-Fauna between August 2014 and now, your photo details will have been wiped out. This includes the location information, date, habitat, and comments. Lats and longs will still be there, as these were unaffected. We are asking you, if you have the time, to re-enter the details, particularly the location of your shot. To do this, go to the 'edit my photos' link at the top of the photo upload page. That will take you to your photo file where you can re-enter the data.
Steps have already been taken to ensure that if we are hacked again, we will have back ups to replace lost data that can't be corrupted.
