“We are now working with security experts to try to decrypt your data and also to make sure this would never happen again,” SmarterASP.NET added. In a series of updates on its Facebook page, the company said it was restoring most accounts with 95% of accounts restored by around noon EST today. The attack also affected SmarterASP.NET’s website as well.
