What does it mean that the site is not sufficiently secure? What can be done to prevent this and to protect our own forums?

Scott · 08-21-2004, 08:51 AM

We can't really say .... I mean, I can't say. I don't know how they got in to all these sites.

Hmm... bugs/hole on XMB 1.6 ?? I don't know much about hacking

Apparently its a exploit for a older version of vbulletin.

They also add some virus code for IE to the bottom of all those hacked pages so be careful about exploring them.

Do a full cpanel backup daily

Riceman · 08-21-2004, 01:26 PM

BTW, did something happened to the namepros site? It looks different and many images are not loading for me

kaliboy2g · 08-21-2004, 01:31 PM

They are changing skins, images dont work either

Riceman · 08-21-2004, 01:39 PM

It's not just the skin and images, I think the VBulletin version has been upgraded too, which is a worthy cause I believe. But we are fast getting out of topic here.

It has to be an exploit, hmm maybe I should look through the code and see if I can find it

Also, forum owners SHOULD be doing backups ATLEAST weekly...

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/44319-defaced-by-political-hackers.html

Anyways that site is running on cpanel, making a cpanel backup is EASY

i had my site defaced in a similar way last year. I was using PHPnuke, all they had to do was adapt the URL so posts would not need authorizing before it was made public.

No skill whatsoever needed in those types of hacks as long as you can read a tutorial you can do it.

They claimd my site was satanic so defaced it (was a fan site for a film)
