weve been hacked.

[Ashley]

Hey all that was NOT me that closed our forum down last night. We have been hacked and are doing everything we can to have it restored. Please be patient and I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry to hear this, Ashley. I hope you get everything sorted out and have you found out who did this? I would look at staff as a suspect as well. Not saying a staff member did this, but I would be some what curious.

I'm really sorry to hear about that, Ashley. I hope it can get sorted out soon and you can open the board again. While I cannot help with anything, if you need help maybe some members here can help. Don't give up!

I'm really sorry to hear about that, Ashley. I hope you can restore your forum soon. Feel free to ask us if you need any help.

 

[Ashley]

Thanks all. I'm still really shaken but we are working with prophpbb and we hope to have the issue resolved soon.

 

[Smokey]

Is ProPHPBB on the latest version of phpBB? If not, they really should upgrade to it and all their mods/extensions they have pre-built into their system.

Good luck with restoring your forum. I know it can be very hard as it happened to me before. I agree with Alycium, look into your staff a bit more. Anyone can be a suspect, even a really trusted friend.

I really could use some help with setting up forums categories and a theme modification. Also coming up with rules and stuff. If you're interested drop me a pm and I'll take the board online so you can register and I'll give you the proper permission

That's terrible news! hope you manage to recover everything and get the forum up and running once again.

 

[Thomasss]

That's horrible! The hackers are sprouting up everywhere it seems like.

Good luck with the restoration process, hope all goes smoothly!

 

[Ashley]

OK, I have a screen shot of the moderator log that shows exactly what's been going on. Anyway I can undo some of this? Also, how can I see what posts I made without any forums on the site?

 

[Sharon]

Gosh that's terrible. I'm sorry this happened to you Ashley. If you do not get much response here you may consider posting in the technical support board in the past people have been most helpful there when it comes to technical issues. I hope you are able to get your forum back on track - I can only imagine how frustrating that is.
