Guest Gorskar Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 Hm, not my day today. http://www.smartgamer.org I'll post more when I've been able to talk with David, but for now I've taken down the mainpage until we've had a chance to restore the db (and find out how much has been lost....)
Guest mike-oh Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 Arse, Time for a new firewall perhaps? Hope you get it sorted, Mike
Guest Gorskar Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 Was a phpBB exploit. It was patched almost up to date, so they must have used the very recent one. If anyone else is running a phpBB based site I would advise patching to 2.0.12 NOW. Anyway we've moved to invision now. The database is gone, and the backup was unfortunately overwritten automatically. We will replace all the reviews from local copies, but it will take some time, as they will all need to be properly formatted etc. Makes you ask the question why though. Some twisted little kiddie with nothing better to do than find than read up on the latest exploits and then find a community site full of peoples hard work and trash it. :evil:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 26, 2005 Report Posted March 26, 2005 That sucks man... but welcome to the Invision club :D If there's anything at all I can help with, let me know (I'm a phpBB -> Invision expert ;-)) P
Guest Gorskar Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 Thanks, Unfortunately we dont have a good phpBB database to import, so its going to be a fresh start (the reviews we can recover at least - which was the main part of the site anyway) Enough of phpBB anyways. Invision is the way forward!
