Hacked

[Deano]

We were hacked today following an exploit in one of our add ons (forum rules plugin) that compromised our database and attempt to down/erase the site.

More details here:

A few graphics etc need to be updated, but thats about it. Everything else, touch wood, is back to normal.

I suggest changing your passwords ASAP.

Is nothing sacred any more?

Props to you, Deano, for your prompt action to save our beloved forum.

Thanks for letting us know Deano.

Do you know what they got. did they get email addresses?

[Deano]

Well I doubt they bothered, but the only thing useful to them might be your email address.

Or Greece...!

Or Greece...!

i see what your thinking :spy: i wonder

[Aussiewaz]

Or Greece...!And why would you think Greece? Bugger all hacks come from there. I find the insinuation interesting to be honest considering the hacker is known and was named on the vB forum.

[Deano]

I think you'll probably find they have their share of hackers like any other country. But I think we can safely assume that CohibaIV was having some fun, please don't take it the wrong way, I've had enough crap to last a life time!

My thoughts exactly & why I thought it a strange thing to say after so long.

Nice to see you posting :)

[Deano]

Had problems again this morning, turned off all plug-ins for now - seems another mass hack is going on.

[SmokeyDave]

Swines! Fingers crossed it doesn't give you too much grief Deano.

[Aussiewaz]

Hope you get it sorted Deano. This is crap!

[cj121]

Cheers for keeping everyone in the loop boss. What a shit though ay?

I'm hoping the itrader is a plug-in. I need to leave some feedback for some stix I recently purchased and couldn't find the i-trader button. As soon as it returns I'll leave the relevant thanks.

[Deano]

Yep it is...

[cohibaIV]

Any idea when the plug ins will be back up and running?

[Deano]

iTrader/Chat etc are all on. Some of the stats have been turned off for a while (they're by the same developer as the rules plugin which is what the exploit went via)
