My website was hacked. The forums just stopped working. It gets me a 500 Internal Server Error every time I try to access them.
 
Internal server errors aren't caused by being hacked, more likely a misconfiguration with the server you're on. Seeing as you're hosted by x10, this comes as no surprise to me. ~lol~

You'd be best off contacting their support or searching topics on their support forum for people having similar problems.

Good luck, I've seen how damaging downtime can be for a website. ~neutral~
 
As MhW says, HTTP 500 errors are unlikely to occur due to being hacked - a hacker will most likely put up a page saying he hacked you, he wants to show off.

500 errors occur "naturally" for endless reasons. You should check your error log files - it will tell you the exact nature of the problem
 
There is now a message that says you closed the site due to Hackers, but then after a few seconds the screen reloads and your forum loads fine.

I think it's fine now and you should take the other message down if that's the case.

Thats a different forum. The simple fact that hes able to put up a working page shows that it hasnt been hacked...or even if it is, there are ways of fixing it. Backups. If youre locked out of the admin panel then theres things that I can give you to fix that, resetting the admin password...theres always ways to fix a hacking, this seems fishy to me :\
 
I don't see what the point of a trick is. Well maybe i can, but what is the point of posting it here then.
 
They post oh my god we have been hacked everywhere, people visit to take a look and get redirected another forum and that other forums gets extra traffic -😉-
 
Hmmm, well that is his site, it could be to get traffic still, but i really don't see the point. Ah well Folwer always knows best huh. -lol-
 
I am not saying that is the case but people have done sillier things before to get traffic to their site.
 
ooh.Unlucky did your forum have any illegal downloads.Cuz i had a guest on my forum called adamenty.He was a nice guy then he turned us over cuz i had a illegal downloads..Since then i've had when your site coming back up.
