Yikes!
That strongly suggests they weren't even doing weekly backups.
On a bright note, they just switched to CloudFlare, which protects from DDOS ("Distributed Denial of Service" attacks).
Unfortunately, they've done some other backend stuff that suggests their new team is not internet abuse savvy.
I hope they fix their SPF record.
Hmmmm... does anyone know what their old SPF was? The new one might be such a mess because it's a transitional one, with both old and new mail servers, thus hinting where they're moving to ("Liquid Web" which has a somewhat worse rep than their old host "ServInt").
P.S. I'm in Noise, move-out & prep Hell. Will be posting lots more soon-ish.
