civilwarmicrofilm.com was attacked last week and compromised by hackers. We were forced to wipe the machine and are loading everything from scratch, including the 165 GB of microfilm image data which make up the site. Please bear with us while we restore everything as quickly as we can.

The database and all user and subscription data has survived. No one's financial / payment information was obtained as that is stored securely on PayPal's servers. We anticipate bringing the site back up soon, and image data will gradually be restored over the next week. We sincerely apologize to our current subscribers. We are working as fast as possible to restore service.
