forum attack... -
02-25-2005, 04:58 PM
Some of you remember that my forums was attacked from the inside and all messages were erased. Well this time they took it a step farther... They also took over an admin on my sites site... Im really pissed right now... My forums was a medium sized forums, we were recovering nicely, had slightly more than 1000 posts, 68 members... Ull probably be able to figure out pretty easily what it was about from the title but it was a nice site, we had theories, and discussions about them, it was truly interesting all the things we learned and all the people who got invloved... I guess Im gonna have to start all over from scratch... Considering the fact that he banned all the members's ip's... Im not even sure of how he did it, but he gained acess to the other admins account, destroyed my site, and went onto commandeer his... If you want the links then pm me... I dont feel like posting em here...

hey man, sorry for your loss. I know rebuilding a site of such size is a huge task and my takes a great deal of time - but i might as well be the one to tell you that you should have taken daily or at least weekly backups of the forum.
Hope you manage to recover some of what is lost - and my regards in the rebuilding of the forum.

Can I ask why, with only 68 members, did you have any admins?

OMG! CHANGE YOUR FUCKING PASSWORDS. Anytime I hacked a site (way back in the old days, Im retired now) the admin's passwords were "password" or "star wars" and I had them cracked in about a day.
