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 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.

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.
