WTF happened this time?
Wow, do we keep getting hacked on the forum, or is there just something wrong on the servers? It's just really odd what keeps happening.

That is all.

I think we were hacked (again) - not sure why, but according to another forum member, this time there was a virus which lifted a popup asking the user to download an anti-virus program, which was itself another virus (or so I'm told)
I wonder who's so p...ed off at the Forum, that they would stoop to this ? It's a low blow.......

RE: WTF happened this time?
wow...i was actually scared for awhile....what i can gather from looking at what happened, there is a security flaw in this BBS system...somehow, someone was able to write into the javascript of the site, a link to a .js (javascript file) that was either a virus or spyware...
these types of attack are coming and likely aren't directed specifically to us...when a security hole is found in software like this that is used by tons of people, hackers automate a script to find and hack sites that haven't patched the vunerability yet, so hopefully, we have it patched and won't run into this again... :crosses fingers:
glad to be back though...!!!
