Trying to access the website, for several hours, yielded nothing but the depressing message:

Error establishing a database connection.

The entire [MySQL] database was wrecked, and thus was reset. Several tables had to be manually re-implemented in part or whole. Please notice us through a comment to this post or email at contact[at]yestofreedom.org if you encounter any problems or anomalies. Additionally, a “Conditional CAPTCHA” plugin has been installed, which will request that you answer a simple question if your comment is thought to originate from a bot.

This website has been growing fast for the past six months, and now receives an average of over 160 unique visitors daily. More than 45 000 people have visited it since its inception, and about 220 letters were sent through our mailing system only. That is far from being anywhere close to having an impact on worldwide policies, but it is still encouraging data taken into account that Yes to Freedom is barely six months old.

This attack demonstrates that we are beginning to have a certain impact on the web. We will need to be much more careful from now on. We thank you for your support over the last 6 months; of course, we always are in need of all the help that we can get.
