A data leak too perhaps?
Has anyone else heard about AuXXX?
I saw it on a Reddit Sydney thread tonight.
https://www.reddit.com/r/SydneyNSWAf..._reviews_lost/
I always assumed that what was on the net was on forever. But they appear to have lost all reviews and are rebuilding the site from scratch
"NOTE: At 10pm on 29/10/2023 the forum host suffered a catastrophic failure resulting in huge damage to our forum structure and content.
Please be patient whilst we rebuild the forum. Please do not email us during this time. With over 400 emails already we can't process all of them.
New paid Silver memberships have been put on hold until the rebuild is completed."

A data leak too perhaps?
A cyberhack and removal of material would barely be noticed
That site hid the reviews so comprehensively from general view, that cyberhackers stripping content will barely be noticed by vast majority of visitors
What is more important is the question, have members identification and financial details also been compromised?
Let's not be naive, hackers steal content to find valuable information to sell on the dark web. People paying for silver memberships may now wish they had paid in cash
I only just recently warned in this forum, that punters should not share financial details with any punting site. I was correct. I wonder how much personal identification and financial information was harvested
Sincerely best wishes to all members involved there. Let's see if reports follow regarding the dark web wanting to publish member details
Now we know the site was not safe from hackers. The irony is that you probably needed to be a hacker, to access any info from that site
Another point. I would have assumed that a competent site manager (web master) would have backed up the site. Maybe not. We will see. Not that I need to visit that site, no useful information is accessible. Can you back up a website that has more barriers and walls than a high security prison? We shall see
Didn't they get they reviews from here ?
Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch.
Aus99 needs a new section
'auxxx past members'
Post your reviews here, where they can actually be read and not be hidden in a maze of barriers and restrictions
Reddit post has been removed.
Is there any proof it was a hack or was it just their idea? Could have been technical issue that caused it and if it was hacked, I would have expected different results. Another website had similar issues around the exact same time as auxxx, and lost all posts after April. Maybe same server.
Couldn’t agree more, an absolute headfuck of platform designed to squeeze a dollar out of punters, have written a few reviews that won’t up to standards apparently, almost trying to pretty much give me no choice but to purchase account access rather than earn it with a review.
For fuck's sake, cyber attacks and data breaches have been going on for decades. The list of companies that have been breached, hacked, penetrated, compromised is as long as a fucken roll of toilet paper (and these are companies that have fessed up and reported it). For companies that haven't reported their breaches or are oblivious to the fact they've been breached the list is 100x greater.
Who can you trust? No one
What technology/company can you trust? None!....welcome to the online digital world.
What is a sure and safe bet? Off the grid, cash only, face to face transactions.

good riddance I suspect its a server failure and they lost part of their data which is probably unrecoverable.
bunch of egotistical pricks hopefully this is the end of the site, its been on a downward slope for a few years now.
100% nothing is safe, so that’s why I minimise the risks and use prepaid cards
Especially for online purchases
What about optus?
