They hack I unhack. Who will get tired of it first?

Well, one hour ago the forum was hacked by some Saudi hackers. It didn't take long for me to fix the forum. However I still didn't find the hole they got in, so it's not patched and they can do it again. I contacted the VBulletin team (we run our forum on their software) - hope the hole will be found and fixed before those losers come back again. It looks like after they hacked the forum they sent e-mails to all our members. Sorry about that.

You know, if they are going to take the time and effort to hack, they could at least send more interesting email than "ksm". How about "We are Saudi princes and want to make you the head of housekeeping in our palace/burger joint/furniture warehouse" or something equally as interesting?

Thanks for keeping such a vigilant eye

Yeah that was really fast. I didn't even realise they did anything to the site and I was online when the mail came in.

Dear Nightdancer,
I would LOVE to work with you in Saudi's Royal Burger Joint. Now that would look so cool on my curriculum....:cool:

I did notice the email, it said some things in Arabic as well. Only thing I could read was "ksm" as well. Think I nearly had a panic attack lol. NOT AGAIN:protest:

Hope Anatoliy finds the hole (well ofcourse he will;), he's Anatoliy)

Boy that was a fast recovery, Anatoliy! I got the email yesterday and scooted over here to make sure you knew, and you had already taken care of it.

I got the email but I assumed that was because I'd emailed the admin here to tell them of the hacking. :confused:

My hero!

The email didn't make much sense to me (being in Arabic), but what little I translated sounded like a self-congratulary announcement of the hack.:confused:

Thanks for the warning, and your vigilance!

The hole was found and patched, so if they come back they will have to find another way in.
