Once again, it wasn't Brickimedia that was hacked; it was the host. There's always that possibility, but there are no external backups of Brickimedia that can prevent such events from causing as long of a downtime. One of the backups you can track, and you can see as changes are made by looking at the Brickimedia source code on GitHub.
