Andy 60 Posted November 2, 2002 I'm sort of in a hurry to get out... I'll finish the upgrade later. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted November 2, 2002 It looks a little, unGB. But I'm glad that it's all back up now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sticks 1 Posted November 2, 2002 I heard there may be viruses. Is this true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad furday 57 Posted November 2, 2002 Thanks for fixing the site Aurelius! I don't know Sticks...I don't think so anymore... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sticks 1 Posted November 2, 2002 Aight...not like I worried about it much in the first place...I got ur email warning me and I still came, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sticks 1 Posted November 2, 2002 My guess is it's affix...although I can't find any info on either him or new Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
^Hal^ 1 Posted November 2, 2002 Yeah.. those guys probably weren't destructive hackers, they were just out to prove it could be done... If you look at what they put it was somthing like "affix ownz you phpbb" ... they basically just wanted to show off their skillz... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted November 2, 2002 Well I installed a newer version of the forum software, so this should eliminate some security issues. Tomorrow I'll start putting back all the images and stuff and make it look GBish again :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted November 3, 2002 Forgot to mention: As a security measure, I have enabled an option that makes it so that all new members have to have their accounts activate by the Admin before they can use the forums. Don't know if this will help, but maybe the forum upgrade will be enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sticks 1 Posted November 3, 2002 That will probably help some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUnknown 39 Posted November 3, 2002 Okay, I came here earlier, before Link (and Furday I assume). I didn't click on anything (I don't think). Could I have gotten a virus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurelius 1 Posted November 3, 2002 There was no Virus, so the only way you could have got one is via email or file. Just to make it clear their was NO Virus! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Link 3 Posted November 3, 2002 I gathered that when my virus scan didn't spaz out. Just better to be on the safe side and look for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master MJade 0 Posted November 3, 2002 i got the email...so everything all right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandora 77 Posted November 3, 2002 Since you didn't get an IP, Beeurd, is it possible that affix and new are the same person? Notice that new is the 100th member. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted November 3, 2002 I think that "affix" and "new" are the same person. They have both been banned anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurelius 1 Posted November 3, 2002 Link - No Virus, they got in threw the forums which is not a virus, its a security hole. We took off the Gender Mod which is a known security hole and updated the board version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted November 3, 2002 Was this email sent to all members? B/c I was left out and didn't get one. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted November 3, 2002 She probably just sent it to people who's addresses she knew, there is a mass email option, but only Admins can use it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted November 4, 2002 You may have noticed that the forums are back to normal. Let's hope it doesn't happen again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
