How odd.
There is - or was - an alleged backup file that was supposedly a gzip file, but it was not.. It was a text file with a .gz file extension. It is tiny, about 1k, and would not unzip because it wasn't a zip archive. So I opened it in a test editor, and presto! Just a file of code text.
it contains the following code:
An interesting subset of data to export to it's own table file - Just the User ID,s, their IP addresses, and unspecified "data".
Why would a text file claim to be a zipped file unless it was trying to hide?
