會公佈這件事只是在跟flickr和Yahoo奮戰幾天後確定沒有回復的可能性，想提醒大家注意： 1. Flickr不會幫你備份，你得自己備份(話說回來，如果不幫忙備份，我幹嘛付錢用pro，就是覺得自己備份不保險才付錢啊） 2. Flickr對自己的安全機制極有信心，有信心到連刪除帳號頁面CAPTCHA(Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart)這類圖形驗證都不放，所以帳號被刪都是使用者白目，亂點假頁面或是把自己的密碼給別人，所以損失都是使用者白目，Flickr不會有錯。 After I communicated with the CC and PM of flickr, I realized my photos and metadata won't be restored. I decide to post this on my flickr page to remind all flickr users: 1. You should backup your photos by yourself, because flickr can't restore any of your photos or metadata once it's deleted. Even though you tell them you are not willing to delete it, no matter it's virus or phishing attack.(But why should I pay for a internet storage which can't backup my precious files for me?) 2. Flickr is very proud of their security, so they do nothing in their account deleting process. All rechecking methods are unnecessary, ex.CAPTCHA(Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart). If your account was deleted, it's all your fault. Because you are stupid or a internet idiot. My Photos(total 14,933 photos) are all deleted by a phishing attack. I only plug a SD card from my friend into PC. In one second, my Flickr account was deleted and Flickr page showed "Kingkiang's account is no longer active ". The virus attacked the bug of account merging between Yahoo! and Flickr. 我是Flickr使用了三年的付費使用者，上面有一萬五千張重要的照片還有三年多來重要的回憶，以及重要的交流紀錄，每年我都乖乖的繳錢給flickr。 上禮拜四（1/3）我用了朋友一張相機的記憶卡，要讀取照片，插進電腦之後，沒想到這張記憶卡有病毒，一秒鐘馬上把我的flickr帳號連帶一萬五千張照片刪除了，這病毒走Flickr和Yahoo帳號合併的漏洞，而flickr的網頁面對這麼重要的步驟網頁上居然連打認證碼的機制都沒有，就讓他直接通過去刪除帳號。 跟flickr客服幾番來回，都把責任推給使用者，完全無意要解決此問題，說一旦刪除就不可能回復。這麼大的公司居然連資料庫備份的機制都沒有。後來又透過內部的產品經理，得到的答案也類似。 I was shocked about it and try to find solutions through Yahoo! and Flickr's customer care. The only thing they said was "I am sorry". Below is the correspondences between Flickr's customer care and me:
你覺得付錢給flickr，你的照片保險嗎？
