Of course they do, they'd be fools not to.

And so did Avsim.

The problem with Avsim's backups was that they backed up files between their 2 servers, assuming they would never be out at the same time. I think I read somewhere that the hacker may have had inside access to the site. I think they had just added another person to their team. Something like that.

That was the initial story to get everyone on-board.  If nothing had been lost, there would have been no 'phoenix to rise from the ashes' and no reason to donate.

Now they admit there was a backup server, after several days of cash rolling in.

I see this scam a lot on tv:

It's called:  TELEVANGELIST.

How much money  will the developers of all this freeware they hosted receive? It was their creations that were lost, and those files are the reason people are throwing their money at avsim.

And don't give me the community line, I've been in this game long enough to see through that B.S.

There are Site owners, developers, and then everyone else.
Just like the real world, profit only flows one way in this 'game'.

How much money

Hackers 'hack' for good purposes. Crackers 'hack' for malicious purposes. You can't always protect yourself. People are finding new get-arounds all the time. Has it even been said how Avism were cracked? Could be brute force, stolen information or a number of other things.
