This afternoon all their content got knocked out, the site itself is still intact;
but significant amount 70-80% of videos, 100% of the photos (galleries, in-bedded images, thumbnails, etc) are gone.
From what I can tell from a IT point of view is that either the content has been physically moved or deleted...Or worse it's been infected with ransomware (files are still in-place but are unreadable), this is sadly based on my findings what has most likely happened because when you attempt to download select files your internet browser throws:
C:\myusername~1\AppData\Local\Temp\”a random alpha numeric file name”.mp4.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
Try again later, or contact the server administrator.
This indicates that the source file as been changed in such away that it can be still called but the contents are not readable (as in encrypted...)
The first error was around 13:35 PST 12/12/2021...
Otherwise the webmaster just needs to do some major site maintenance, X-art is hosted by GoDaddy who was hacked recently...
