ST cannot undelete projects, but you can reupload them. Are you sure you didn't delete it, or you brother/sister?
If you reupload them, you won't get your views, love-its, comments, tags, downloads, and favorites back though. (basically all your stats)

do you mean the hacker deleted your files too?
try asking commenters that you remember from your projects if they downloaded it and could reupload.

First of all, change your password!! Whenever a hacker hits, that's the first thing you should do.
As for the projects, it's definitely possible for the Scratch Team to undelete them - at least, I know they've done it before. If they don't see this topic right away, the best thing to do is email them so they get the message faster.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Wait, so you never saved them on your computer? I ALWAYS save mine on my computer before uploading or anything. Just another word of advice.
Back. For now. Maybe.

No, I don't think we can do that anymore. It's a really good idea to keep copies of your own projects on your computer or on a USB drive for cases like this. If you upload them again with the same name, the comments and views should come back too.
As mentioned by others in this topic, whenever you suspect that somebody else has been using your account, the very first thing to do is to change your password! And change it to something that is hard to guess - use a mix of letters and numbers and make it pretty long.

Are you sure? Back in June when the projects were disappearing, they were able to restore them all... can they really not do that anymore?
