Administrators furballx Posted August 2, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 2, 2012 Nothing shits me more than people who want to destroy something for the sake of it. Top effort from you Trav, I can't believe how calm you were during this, and thanks for getting us back on line so soon.

Hollo Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Some people have reported they can't log in. Does anybody know anyone effected? I had an issue, but I can't be sure if it was just me forgetting my password - it's been a looooong time I have actually input it. I tried the 5 times, then reset the password. All good now.

wingtipvortex Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 7 Years AA's been up and never been hacked until now. :realmad: Not a conspiracy, but FB was implemented, and that is a hackers delight as far as im concerned. Just a thought Trav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators furballx Posted August 2, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 2, 2012 Mate, I had a hassal logging in just now. Only way I could get past the login was to click a link on an email notification and do it from there. Davew - - - Updated - - - Call me and I will run through it over the phone if that helps.

John73 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Some people have reported they can't log in. Does anybody know anyone effected? Wouldn't let me log in with the Autofill of my password (Google Chrome's remember me option) - I re-typed my password and it let me in I think....

Frank_fjs Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Sad news, kudos for restoring things so quickly though! :) Re logging in, I had to re-log in the first time around and it went to a dead link, but after reloading the page all was back to normal.

Major Havoc Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yes... sites back up... some script kiddies have nothing better to do than exploit those "3rd Party" vulnerabilities. Good work on getting the site up so quickly. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darksoul Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Well done guys. I felt a bit lonely without AA. If we ever find the tool I can get access to some pneumatic pruners. Let's see the bastard type with no fingers! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_fjs Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yep, thanks for the quick recovery AA admin. It sucks when you have to spend extra time & effort fixing something because some worthless twat has thrown a spanner in the works, but at least it's back to business now so this hacker really didn't achieve much at all, aside from being a twat.

headkaze Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 We've had one of our SMF forum sites hacked a few times by the same guys. They replaced index.php with a file containing "Protected by Kosova Hackers Crew". I ended up removing "FlashChat" as there were a number of reports of this containing security vulnerabilities. There was also a partial install of other forum software using Fantastico that I removed in CPanel. Haven't been hacked again since although still not entirely sure how they did it. Not even sure if it was a targeted attack or part of some automated attack using a particular back door. I just try my best to keep up with forum software updates now.
