Three things strike me about this:
Why doesn’t Flickr keep a back-up, at least for a cooling-off period, or for occasions like this?
Google cache?
Who the fuck DOES still use Hotmail?
intaipei:

Days ago my Flickr account was hacked and then terminated leaving me with tons of questions without any answers.
I received three e-mails in my inbox the morning I woke up:
[redacted]@hotmail.com has been added to your account!
Your password has been changed!
Your account has been terminated!
All of which were done without verification e-mails sent to me. What kind of service is Flickr to allow these crucial changes to my account without allowing the original e-mail that registered the account verify that the information is correct? And who the fuck still uses Hotmail?
